3 Greater White-fronted Geese seen late this morning, at about 30 metres
distance in good light. Associating loosely with a large group of Canada Geese,
but when something flushed the birds, the three Greater White-fronted Geese
flew away separately.
One way to reach the location from Owen Sound is to take Hwy 21"south" ( which
is actually west at this point) then right onto Bruce Road 10.
Turn right again onto Sideroad 5. Follow this road until it ends, and take an
abrupt right onto the 5th Concession of Kepple Township. Watch for a barn with
2 large silos on the left. This is Fire Number 058613. The geese were
feedingclose to the road along with several Canada Geese about 50 metres before
Concession 5A.
There was a also large mixed feeding group of ducks and geese beyond the
fencelines behind the barn and along the wetland at the bottom of a small hill.
They were out of binocular range for us, but a scope view might turn up some
good birds.
FYI this can also be a very good locations for Autumn migrant Sandhill Cranes.
Good Birding
