--001a113366bc1f9f6204e91dfe51 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Rick Whitman and I went on a successful wild goose chase today. Called in at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Lr. Sackville - at least 6 N. Cardinals, and other common birds, (and a warbler that we thought likely Orange-crowned but not enough details to call it for sure). Then on to the Onslow area, where we found the Barnacle Goose - it was in the field just to the east of yesterday's sighting, so we had to go to the end of Dickson Drive (off the 311), walk across a field, and peer through the bushes to see it (with ~200 Canadas). A passing Peregrine put up a large flock of gulls up the road. Then on to Tidal Bore Rd. where the Pink-footed Goose was in a stubble field with ~1000 Canadas. Record shots of both birds are here - http://richard-s.smugmug.com/Birds/Current-Birds/i-dJbZsdD and subsequent few shots, and I have put 1 of each on E-bird. On the way back we checked College Rd., Windsor, but no geese. Windsor Sewage Plant had some Am. Wigeon, and there were no shorebirds at Hortonville, but 4 different LBB Gulls around the dykes.
