A few people have asked for updates on whether the Greater White-fronted Goose is stil present at Wilfrid Bog. It was there 30 minutes ago, in the south pond. The geese roost elsewhere and spend late morning to early afternoon at the ponds, before heading off to forage in fields in the late afternoon, so a late morning visit is probably best. Usually, you can also find a few Cackling Geese in amongst the Canada Geese, but overall waterfowl diversity has not been high at Wilfrid so far this fall.
DIRECTIONS: >From Sunderland, travel north on Highway 12 for approximately 8.5 km. Turn left (west) on Regional Road 12 for approximately 3.5km to 17th Sideroad. The ponds of Wilfrid Bog include a large one to the north of Regional Road 12 and one to the south. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
