To add to the York region report posted yesterday, Kevin Shackleton observed a white adult Snow Goose on the south side of Hochreiter Road late yesterday afternoon. Hochreiter Rd. runs west from Bathurst St. just northwest of Holland Landing (just past where the GGOW was a few weeks ago). As of yesterday it was still possible to drive the length of Hochreiter Road but take note that conditions along that narrow lane are deteriorating rapidly and I would not advise trying it unless you have an adventurous spirit and 4-wheel drive. For what it's worth, I have been walking in (approx. 1.5 kms.) rather than running the risk of getting stuck or turning my van into a mud-covered monster truck. Holland Landing is just north of Newmarket.
