The Ross’s Geese were seen about 10 this a.m. circling over the ponds but didn’t land as someone was down by the shore. They then flew off to the east. The 2 Blue and 2 white morph Snow Geese were evident.
At Ravenshoe Rd in York Region, Terrie Smith and I saw 6 Snowy Owls, a Northern Harrier, a Northern Shrike, about 100 Common Redpolls and on striking male Hoary Redpoll. Reesor Pond lies just north of Hwy 407 on Reesor Road in Markham. Ravenshoe runs east-west and we saw our birds at the extreme west end of the road where it deadends.
