On Monday, September 29th while birding east of Ottawa with Jane Burgess and
Nadine Tate we had two separate observations of Snow Geese. The first,
around 11:45 am, was an adult Blue Morph Snow Goose at the Embrun Sewage
Lagoons. It was with Canada Geese but separated from them which provided a
great view. The second Snow Goose was seen in a field on the north side of
Russell Road just west of Frank Kenny Road around 3:50 pm. It also was with
Canada Geese but fully visible very close to the road.
