While cycling today I found an adult and a juvenile white-phase Snow Goose in the reservoir at Earl Rowe Park today at around 12:00. These are probably the same geese reported by Susan Menzies on the west side of King street in the north end of Alliston over the last week. They appear to be visiting that location in the late afternoon.
The park is on the 7th Concession west of the town of Alliston. Driving west out of town on Young St (Hwy 89) take the first right (7th Concession). The entrance to the park is just up the hill on the left. Enter the park and park on the right at the top of the hill. Go through the gate and walk down the hill to the reservoir. The Geese were among hundreds of Canada Geese on the beach at the west end of the reservoir. -- John Schmelefske # 7360 RR # 4 Alliston, Ontario,Canada, L9R 1V4 Email: [email protected] Watercolour Gallery: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2001214&id=1051632050&l=ea990bf4ce _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
