With Rob Stone's permission, I am forwarding his earlier post to the Mearns Bird Club, to the state list as well. After his post, in addition to the below mentioned Snow Geese, he had an additional flock of 2500-3000 Snow Geese at Oil City Rd., in Pine Island. Good Birding, Curt McDermott

At too great a distance to scan the entire flock bird by bird. At the Camel Farm, 3,000+ Canada Geese and 8 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE (together, pretty close to where the farm animals often feed/near the creek that runs through the field). At Pine Island Turf Nursery, 5,000+ Canada Geese and 1 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE. I spent all of 5 minutes there; could have easily missed birds. Finally, at Scenic View Golf Course in Pine Island (down the road from the Jolly Onion) 1500+ Canada Geese. I did not cover Onion Ave, Turtle Bay or Skinners Lane. I am unable to get out tomorrow - I hope that the Snow Geese move closer to the road and someone picks out a Ross's! good birding, Rob Stone [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: New Members 1 New Links 2 Visit Your Group MARKETPLACE Stay on top of your group activity without leaving the page you're on - Get the Yahoo!
