[Ontbirds] Snow Geese? in North York

2016-12-16 Thread Bob Ross
A few minutes ago 3 geese flew over while I was retrieving garbage bins. The were quite high, flying north to south, and honking continuously. Without binos, I could not see them well enough to identify them, but I had the impression they were not Canada Geese. Could they have been snow geese?

Relatively little change in the birds this week, but lots more snow, especially on Wednesday. BOREAL SPECIALTIES Try Spruce Bog Boardwalk and black spruce areas along Opeongo Road ((gated at Cameron Lake Road junction) for Spruce Grouse, Black-backed Woodpecker, Gray Jay and Boreal Chickadee. W
