The small number of Greater Snow Geese that have been reported this week along the St. Lawrence between Ingleside and Iroquois were bolstered today in the Winchester-Chestervillle areas. Birds were on the ground at both sites. This is not the main flight yet but the numbers are worth checking and will likely increase before the weekend, especially tomorrow with very mild weather moving in.
Directions: Winchester lagoons are accessible from Winchester. From the centre of town take Ottawa Street until you are out of town. The road turns right (east). The lagoons are on the south side of the road a short distance ahead. Chesterville - Immediately south and east of Chesterville along Cty Rd 43 in fields near the river.
