Just now we found the two Snow Geese & the single Ross's Goose reported at Glengarry Landing yesterday by David Smyr. The Nottawasaga River is open right where it crosses under hwy 26 North of the Minesing wetlands. All three geese flew up out of a flock of Canada Geese on the south side of hwy 26 just as we arrived. They circled gaining altitude & giving excellent viewing for about three minutes and then flew out of sight to the northwest following the Nottawasaga River. The Ross's goose was clearly recognizable as only 50% to 60% of the size of the Snow Geese. Viewers in the Wasaga Beach area to the north & northwest may want to watch for them.
Location Glengarry Landing has a road sign & not much else right where the Nottawasaga River crosses Highway 26 north of the Minesing Wetlands west of Barrie.
