  Hi All,

On Sunday I saw a snow goose at the same place on Hwy #358 that I saw one
on Saturday, but it was not the same bird!

Saturday's snow goose was a pristine white bird, the snow goose on Sunday
was a dingy immature bird.

On 14 April 2015, I saw four snow geese in this location with Keith Lowe
and Paolo Matteuci, they have photos of these four. One was a dingy
blue/grey and three were white. The bird on Sunday was a dingy blue/grey.
So there are still at least two snow geese in the area.

Cheers, George Forsyth

Hi All,<br>
This morning in Canning three geese species were well seen by George, and Harold Forsyth and Larry Neily.<br>
<br>
Entering Canning on Hwy #358 from the south, a large flock of Canada geese along the Habitant River was entertaining one Snow Goose. There were also Green winged Teal, Black ducks and Mallards.<br>
