Modest migration continued through the area, with an upturn in shorebirds and some early waterfowl. Here are the highlights of the last week: SNOW GOOSE - the Kingston birds (first seen on 12th) on Front Road near Invista, became three by 24th. Another individual was seen on Wolfe Island on 21st, with 2 at the generating station at Bath on 23rd. GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE - a single bird was seen at Heritage Point, Bath, earlier this morning (25th) with another outside the area at Hamilton Wetland, Prince Edward, later in the morning.
