Hello All,
This afternoon (3/16) my wife and I took her mother and partner birding.
At 2:00 PM we observed a single white morph adult Snow Goose with some
Canada Geese on the Niagara River, south of Chippawa. The Snow Goose was
initially observed standing on the river bank with some Canada Geese. When
we stopped to get a better view, the Snow Goose entered the water. When we
left the area the Snow Goose was still present. The Snow Goose can be
observed 100 metres south of the Legends on Niagara Golf Course, directly
across from Service Rd 27.

Directions: From the QEW, exit McLeod Rd. Travel east on McLeod Rd and
continue east on Portage Rd at the intersection with Stanley Ave. In
Chippawa, cross the bridge and turn left at Main St. Turn right onto the
Niagara Parkway and continue upriver 5 km to reach the area the Snow Goose
was observed.
