Hi all:

Bernice and I went looking for geese at high tide between Truro and Glenholme.
We saw several large groups of Canadas - perhaps 2000 or so all told - below
the road opposite to the McWilliam road turnoff and also at the upper end of
the McMwilliam Rd. mear Hiway 104 and in the fields near the bay south of Lr.
Onslow. The only mildly interesting one was a possible Cackling Goose among the
large Canadas in the first group, but too far to be totally connvinced. Only a
small portion of the corn has been harvested, so later in the month the geese
may  become more scattered and easier to study.

A hovering dark morph Rough-legged Hawk was seen near exit 9 on Hiway 102.

Cheers, Ian

Ian McLaren
