Nice find Mark and thanks for calling me. I have a dentist app't tomorrow about 9 and may be able to get the 10.30 ferry over to try. I have never seen more than a single WFGO in this area. They may move on but it is worth a try.

Update & Directions At about 11am the 8 (not 7) Greater White-fronted Geese moved south by about another 500m. There they intermingled with approximately 1000 Canada Geese and were harder to pick out. Visibility has also decreased with fog and rain becoming heavier. Directions: Wolfe Island is reached by a free ferry from downtown Kingston (at the east end of Barrack Street). The ferry is currently docking at Dawson Point, from where you will travel south to Hwy 96, then west to the village of Marysville. After the shops turn left onto Hwy 95 and follow it south to Reed's Bay Road. Turn right (west) to 5th Line. Turn left (south) and follow past house on right checking fields as you go. Birds last seen approximately 1km along this road just over the rise in the road. Mark. -----Original Message----- From: Mark D.

They are on 5th Line, about 500 m south of Reed's Bay Road in a lightly flooded corn field with Canada Geese and 3 Snow Geese.
