2, Onslo
All:
Bernice and I went looking for geese in the Fundy cornfields. There was onl=
y a handful of Canadas through noon in the Truro area - covered all the usu=
al fields. Then, at ca. 2:30 large numbers totalling an estimated 1400 arri=
ved and settled in a field field west of Board Landing Rd. the first road t=
o north after the turnoff to the Onslow Rd. Among them were two small birds=
, too far to be i.d.- picky, but I think they were standard pale-breasted "=
Richardson's" CACKLING GOOSE. Rather few small interior (possibly Greenland=
) Canadas - will they come, or have they largely passed west of us this yea=
r?
Then took the slow road to Windsor,to find ca. 450 Canadas in the 4:30 gloa=
ming, in first fields n. of the Martock Rd Nothing exotic among them.
Still worth looking over, but little luck today.
Cheers, Ian
Ian McLaren
