Late this afternoon there were 12 GWFG in the Madawaska headpond at Arnprior amongst hundreds of CANG. The flocks of geese were leaving near sunset but may well return tomorrow. The GWFG were in separate groups of 4 (2 ad, 2 juv), 7 (3 ad, 4 juv), and a single adult that flew in near sunset. As the ratio of young to adult birds was different yesterday (apparently only 4 juveniles were present then), there have undoubtedly been more than 12 GWFG present over the past few days. I arrived at 4 p.m. and many geese had drifted out into the headpond and many others had already flown away.
The headpond is at the east end of Baskin Drive, which comes off Daniel Street just north of Highway 417 (north of the White Lake Road). Happy Birding!
