Checking the sod farm east of Casselman at mid-morning there were only about 10,000 Snow Geese, mostly Greaters but Lessers as well. As I was leaving, another 7,000 flew in from the east, likely coming in from corn fields. At 2:00 the numbers had swollen to 40,000+.
Brian Morin Directions: From Ottawa head east on Hwy 417 to Hwy 138 which is 5 minutes east of Casselman. Head south a short distance on Hwy 138 to Lafleche Rd. There is no truck traffic to the dump on Sunday but on all other days watch for heavy trucks. From Hwy 401 exit at Brookdale and head north to the intersection. Turn right then go east a short distance to Hwy 138. The sod farm is 30 minutes north. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
