[Ontbirds]Greater Snow Goose Migration in Eastern Ontario

[Mark Cranford]

Posting for Brian Morin of Cornwall

As noted on several recent posts, the spring flight of Greater Snow 
Geese has begun. The first flight is on schedule but the birds will be 
facing conditions not seen here in the 22 years since this migration was 
first noted. For those wishing to observe birds on the ground, it is 
uncertain how the geese will react to heavy snowcover in fields in 
Eastern Ontario. The main flights will take place in April.

I will again this year be tracking their movements with the help of 
Ontbirds subscribers and while I will monitor the posts, many 
observations go unreported once the main migration takes place. I would 
appreciate receiving information about your sightings in the weeks ahead 
if you are not already posting them. Respond to me privately at
