Late Sunday morning, October 25th there were 71 Sandhill Cranes in a field
on the West side of Trim Road, towards Perrault Road.
Later in the day, October 25th, around 3:00 pm we observed approximately
2000 Snow Geese on County Road 9 South of St. Isadore. They were on the west
side of the road in fields across the road from a large light-grey building
(#5475). There were 14-15 blue morphs in the group. A person who drives by
the area daily, said the Snow Geese had been in the area for about a week,
often closer to Highway 417 ramps.
