Dear Ontbirders,
I went looking for the white goose we saw today at Cranberry Marsh
Hawkwatch and found one white morph Snow Goose feeding among the large
flock of Canada Geese on the lawn at Whitby Mental Health Centre. This
isn't far from Cranberry so it's likely the same goose Doug Lockrey
mentioned in his post. Ron Pittaway cautioned us that size is difficult to
determine from seeing a single white goose in flight at a distance, and not
to rule out Ross's Goose.
Directions to Whitby Mental Health Centre: Exit 401 at Brock Street in
Whitby (not Brock Road in Pickering). Go south to Bayly, turn right and go
to second traffic light, turn left and continue to visitor parking beside
first building on Lake Ontario side.
Good birding,
Jean Iron
