On the way home from Montreal to Ottawa on Hwy 417, today (Oct 29th) at 4:30 PM, just a little ways north of the exit 51 overpass there were three large flocks of Snow Geese. They were in 3 contiguous farmers fields on the west side of the highway, and one field looked like it had snowed there were so many. Estimate of the numbers would be roughly 10,000! cheers iain CO DSBC (NC) _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
