[Ontbirds] Snow Geese Glengarry County

A major flight of Snow Geese was taking place over South Glengarry Township
in Glengarry County at around 6:00 p.m. tonight.  There were thousands of
birds (at least 10,000 I hazard to estimate) in three major groups.  In the
glinting sun of evening light, they made for an awesome spectacle.  Of the
several hundred birds that flew directly overhead, only a very small
percentage were "blues."  I saw these birds on Cedar Grove Road which runs
west 5 kms. off Highway 34 north of Lancaster.
