Hello Ontbirders, I headed to Reesor Pond this morning, arriving at 9:45, and found the GWFG right at the base of the east spit in front of the entrance to the pond off Reesor Rd. All field marks looked good except the belly that was much whiter than I recall for this species, comparing to field guides it seemed off too. There were a couple of black feathers coming in to the belly - so maybe not a full adult... The bird flew off 10 minutes after I arrived but suspect it will return in the evening (most of the Canada's return in the evening after 7pm).
Digiscoped Picture were taken, I attached in my first attempt to send to the list but the e-mail was likely blocked, so am re-sending my note without the pictures attached. Also here were over 2000 Canada Geese (many flying off to surrounding fields but will return in the evening), 3 Ruddy Duck, a Pied-billed Grebe, 2 Hooded Merg, a Killdeer, 2 Lesser Scaup amongst others. Reesor pond lies just north of 407 on the west side of Reesor Road.
