The show appears to be over for this part of Eastern Ontario. There was only one small flock present this evening east of Lancaster although there were still many birds in the area. The rest chose fields in Quebec for their evening dining after leaving the river at the Quebec border.
In the time ahead, the flooded fields north of St. Isidore at Fournier on Cty Rd 9 should be a draw. Similarly flooded fields east of Bourget should also offer good viewing but I have not heard of reports yet. Flooding along Frank Kenney and Milton Rd in Navan is showing good numbers of Canadas but so far the Snows are not in large numbers. Other areas to be watching are fields west of Winchester and east of Chesterville. It is too early for birds further northeast along the Ottawa River. Yesterday there was a report of a Pink-footed Goose seen briefly on the beach with Canadas at Morrisburg but the bird was not present today.
