Subject: Graylag Goose with Many Friends


I surveyed the goose flock of about 1000+ birds on the Cobequid Bay =
inlet just west of where highway 102 crosses over the water.  I =
photographed the flock floating, sitting and flying, plus the three =
collared geese and of course the Graylag Goose.

The view here is unobstructed and with the assistance of a quality 60X =
scope you should get eye-popping views of all the geese.  There are two =
good viewing locations.  Take exit 14 off highway 102 and immediately =
turn left onto route #236 and go under highway 102 driving west and then =
take the first right and drive to the end of the road by a boarded up =
motel.  From here you can see the whole flotilla legally.  If you don't =
mind violating local by-laws you can drive another couple of hundred =
metres down route #236 and turn right at a clearing and then past the no =
trespassing sign and directly to the dyke.  From the dyke you will get =
the best views.  The goose flock will be agitated as you ascend the =
dyke.  You'll know this by the sudden increase in the decibel level.  =
Move slowly, set up your equipment and relax, and so will the geese.  =
The no trespassing by-law likely exists to protect the farmers fields =
from being torn up by ATV's or their access roads being blocked by =
looky-woos. =20
