The show appears to be over for this part of Eastern Ontario. There was
only one small flock present this evening east of Lancaster although there
were still many birds in the area. The rest chose fields in Quebec for
their evening dining after leaving the river at the Quebec border.
In the time ahead, the flooded fields north of St. Isidore at Fournier on
Cty Rd 9 should be a draw. Similarly flooded fields east of Bourget should
also offer good viewing but I have not heard of reports yet. Flooding along
Frank Kenney and Milton Rd in Navan is showing good numbers of Canadas but
so far the Snows are not in large numbers.
Other areas to be watching are fields west of Winchester and east of
Chesterville. It is too early for birds further northeast along the Ottawa
River.
Yesterday there was a report of a Pink-footed Goose seen briefly on the
beach with Canadas at Morrisburg but the bird was not present today.
