[Ontbirds] Ross's Goose - Stratford
Three Canada Geese and one Ross's Goose spent a few minutes at the Stratford Stormwater Pond (mostly ice) this afternoon before flying off again. I posted some photos to Ontario Birds Facebook group to confirm the identity of the white goose, and one person replied she thought she had seen the same group of geese in Thorold on Tuesday. ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
