The Willow Beach Field Naturalist Club bird hotline has been reporting a white-fronted goose (Greenland race) discovered today and standing alone in a corn field at the intersection of Blyth Park Road and Simpson Road east of the Village of Colborne and west of Presqu'ile Provincial Park.
Blyth Park Road runs south off of Hwy. #2 east of Colborne and just to the west of the Salem Cemetery. Look for "Salem" towards the bottom of this map: www.infocolborne.com/townshipmap.html.

It was in front of the only house on the Ste-Rose road, which is on the left just after turning left from Conc. 20 onto the Ste-Rose Road. For the record, we only managed to sight (from Conc. 19 west of the Ste-Rose Road looking south towards Conc. 20) one snowy sitting on the ground. In the general area there were several flocks, some quite large, of Snow Buntings, at least one with Lapland Longspurs mixed in. There was also a flock of 18 Horned Larks foraging on Desnoyers Road between Conc. 19 and Rte 3. Peter Campbell Ottawa, Ontario Directions: Take highway 417 east from Ottawa past Casselman to exit 58 (exit for Cornwall). Turn left up County Road 8, then take the first right onto Conc. 20. The Ste-Rose Road is the first left.
