The spring goose migration is winding down but there may still be significant flocks of Greater Snow Geese at traditional locations in Eastern Ontario. If you spot any this month, please e-mail me privately with the location, date and if they are on the move, which direction they are headed.
An aerial survey of Greater Snow Geese on May 4 by Canadian Wildlife Service biologists revealed a total of approximately 61,000 birds at over 10 locations, including most of the known sites. The South Nation River area at Chesterville had the largest total, with over 18,000 birds in two concentrations. This is the largest total recorded to date, topping last year's record.
