This morning at 11am a single ROSS'S GOOSE was observed with several hundred
CANADA GEESE in a large field off of CR-15 approximately 3.5 kilometers north
of the village of Fournier. The goose was only a few hundred meters from the
road, clearly visible through binoculars. Both its stubby bill and small size
compared to the Canada geese aided in ID. Although the goose took flight with
a dozen or so Canadas when I left the site, it might still be elsewhere in the
surrounding agricultural area. The field I located the Ross's goose in is
located at 45° 28' 2.9" by -74° 54' 1.7"
