Large numbers of Greater Snow Geese remain in the Winchester area with several thousand present, with best viewing at the lagoons. Among them were two well seen adult hybrid Ross x Snow, superficially resembling Ross's but differing in bill morphology, and intermediate in size between Ross's and Lesser Snow. No pure Ross's were seen. Small numbers of shorebirds were present including one Dunlin. Nearby turf fields held many Canada Geese including one Cackling. The Winchester lagoons are located north of Winchester on Ottawa Street.
