While the= re were no geese landing at the previous location on Shore Road thanks to D= avid Curry & =E2=80=9CThe Network=E2=80=9D , Mike, Fulton, myself, David Mc= Corquodale and 2 female birders from Maine were able to view the Greylag Go= ose. It was nice to see that the goose was a surprisingly sleek and crisp l= ooking individual of the western race Anser anser anser.=20 After our first look Fulton, Mike and I returned and were able to view the = bird at a 100 meters by driving up the Lower Onslow Clarke Cemetery Road. W= ith a little patience we were able to see the goose lift its feet as it wal= ked through the corn stubble thus exposing its hind leg and we could clearl= y see a bump that the three of us were pretty sure was the hind toe, but we= were unable to see a nail.=20 For those of you that may not have the directions, from Halifax and/or the = Halifax Airport, take Exit 14 A on Highway 102, onto Highway 2. Just past C= rowes Mills Road the next right is a short road named McKinley Rd, this is = where we saw the Grayleg. The entrance to this road is across from a John D= eere dealership. If by chance the geese are not in this field try to time y= our visit so you arrive just before the high tide so you can watch to see w= hich of the many fields the geese are coming into for a landing.=20 At the first location on Shore Road there were large flocks of Horned Larks= undulating over the distant fields.=20 In the morning just before we got started on our journey, I made a quick wa= lk along the shore at Hartlen Point, facing Devil's Island and Mike's Sora = was still poking about along the edges of the pond/stream.=20 I plan to make a couple more trips up to see the goose so if anyone would l= ike help finding it, feel free to contact myself at this email or Fulton La= vender at 455-4966.=20 -Cheers & Good Hunting, Clarence=20 BMIAA =0A=0A --0-647274741-1289084969=:65780 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <table cellspacing=3D"0" cellpadding=3D"0" border=3D"0" ><tr><td valign=3D"= top" style=3D"font: inherit;"><P style=3D"MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm">Hi All, Rain = was no deterrent today to finding the Greylag Goose.
