Hi Of interest this afternoon at the Embrun sewage lagoon there was 6 lingering Bonaparte's Gulls and a pair of Redheads (male and female). There was also approx. 50 Snow Geese in a large flock of several thousand Canada Geese resting on the far lagoon ponds. A little further east, 1,000+ Snow Geese could be seen flying in the Ste-Rose/ Moose Creek area. There was little activity at the Chrysler and Casselman sewage lagoons.
