[Ontbirds]Greater Snow Geese Eastern Ontario

[Janet Margaret Castle]

On Tuesday morning there were several thousand Snow Geese in the 
flooded fields on county road 9 just east of Curran.  There were a few 
Canada geese, one Crackling goose and a small amount of Northern 
Pintails there as well.  In addition to these geese, a large flock of 
Snow Geese was seen flying just to the west of Alexandria.  No geese 
were seen in the fields beside highway 34 from Green Valley.  A flock 
of several hundred were still in the field on School House Road north 
of Lancaster.

Directions to Curran flock:  Highway 417 exiting north at exit 51 onto 
county road 9.  The flooded fields are those at the junction with 
county road 2.  

At exit 35 head south towards Lancaster, passing through Alexandria 
and Green Valley.  Turn west on Fallow Field Road, south onto School 
House Road.  Flooded fields on the west held the majority of birds.
