Hello Ontbirders

This morning, between 10:30am and 10:45am, at Cobbs Lake, east of  
Bourget, south of Russel Road we observed a flock of approximately  
14,000 snow geese -  a mix of both Greater and Lesser.
We watched thousands-of-birds (including one Cackling Goose) fly in  
from the north to join a large flock already settled in the field.
Two impressive flights of about 4000 birds total were the distinctive  
"salt & pepper" of Lesser Snow Geese.
