The main flight has yet to arrive but there have been a few birds present.
South of Moose Creek at the Moose Creek lagoons there have been a few
thousand but when they are inside, and not on the raised shoulder of the
lagoons, they are not visible. They will take off a few times a day and
head to the fields. This lagoon is not accessible at all so viewing is only
from 8th Road or by driving up beside the lagoons to the parking area.
There is a nice trail/road to the left.
There were no geese on the sod farm on Lafleche Road off Hwy 138 but there
was a good flock of resting gulls that included 56 Lesser Black-backs,
mostly adults and second year birds. All the others were Herring. Scope
recommended. Oddly, there was a juvenile Bald Eagle standing only about 15
feet away from the flock for some time with no interaction. At some point
after mid-November be looking for Glaucous and Iceland Gulls there.
In the previous two years the main goose flight came at the end of October.
In earlier years it was usually any time after mid October.
