Following up on Martin Bowman's posting I saw a flock of about 4000 Snow
Geese in a field adjacent to Concession Road 8 near St. Isadore. A
larger flock of close to 10,000 could be seen north of Highway 417 at
Casselman.

Directions:
From HWY 417 east of Ottawa take exit 51. Go north towards St-Isidore.
Turn right (northeast) on Caledonia Rd. Drive about 4 km to Concession 8
and turn right.
Casselman is about 50 km east of Ottawa.

Further to Geoff Carpentier's report, we too were in Algonquin yesterday.
We dipped on the Spruce Grouse and Boreal Chickadee, but did have a
Black-backed Woodpecker on Hwy 60 between the East Gate and Opeongo Road,
both on our way in and out of the park, and Common Redpolls on the shoulder
of Hwy 60 east of Whitney.
There were lots of birds at the feeders behind the visitor centre, including
a close-up Red Crossbill. To view these feeders from the deck on a weekday
when the visitor centre is closed, enter the grey doors to the right of the
main entrance and ask at the Friends of Algonquin Park office.
