After an unsuccessful run for the Pink-footed Goose, a check of area potential Snow Goose sites found birds at only one location, Cobbs Lake Creek east of Bourget. The birds are south of the road, in about 100-150 metres and with the sun, the view was fully backlit. A binocular view works but a scope view is better. While there, thousands of additional birds moved in to join the single, large, cohesive flock on the water totalling about 70,000, the largest flock I've come across this spring. Later this afternoon they should head somewhere to harvested cornfields, which are everywhere. Had there been more than a small flooded area at Riceville, geese may have been there as well but there were no geese of any kind there. Brian Morin
