When I went to the site at 8h15 am there were only a handful of birders watching a group of only 1000 Snow Geese. The rest of the geese must be feeding somewhere in the surrounding fields. They will be back! It was raining lightly.
The Pink-footed Goose was not seen. Richard Waters did find a Ross's Goose when I was there; it became my 6th goose species of the week-end at this site. Please see photo of the PINK-FOOTED GOOSE, Ontario's first, I found on Friday, here: http://jacquesbouvier.blogspot.ca/ Thanks to Brandon Holden who was the first to e-mail me, to tell me the bird in the blog photo was a PFGO and to Bruce Di Labio who phoned me to discuss the circumstances of the sighting. Later today I will be adding nice flight photos of the goose I took yesterday. These will be at this site: https://jacques-miroiseur.smugmug.com/ DIRECTIONS: Take Hwy 417 east from Ottawa past Casselman and take exit 58. Turn right (south) on Hwy 138. After a short distance turn right on Laflèche Rd. The geese are often seen feeding in the fields to the north (on right). Good Luck!
