On Sunday afternoon the sod farm east of Casselman, well known for hosting rare geese last fall, was blanketed by a good-sized flock of about 25,000 Greater Snow Geese. This is likely a large percentage of the birds remaining in Eastern Ontario. The geese may frequent this area and points along the Ottawa River near the Quebec border for 10 days or more before heading north. Most will be gone by late May.
Brian Morin Directions: the sod farm is off Hwy. 417 east of Casselman. Exit at Hwy. 138. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
