To further Brian Morin's post earlier today, I first observed a large flock
(500) over the Finch-Chesterville corridor on March 11. The past few days the
Snow Geese have been prevalent on the South Nation River east of Chesterville
at the confluence of Kirby Creek. The field on the west side of Kirby Creek is
flooded and they have been mixed in with the Canada's. Snow Geese numbers have
stabilized in this area this week, but the Canada Geese numbers have exploded
in this area. Many portions of the South Nation River will surely be open
after this weekend.
Another spot where Snow Geese are prevalent is along the South Nation River
north of County Rd. 9 (Berwick Rd.).
Finch and Chesterville are located along the Highway 43 corridor east of
Winchester.
