Hi Tweeters,

The big flock of geese that I have seen in the horse pasture on 212th (the road Orillia Rd turns into) has been out of sight for a short while so on a hunch I turned down S 200th St off of Orillia, (left at first light, halfway down the hill). The field has been recently plowed and I found a smallish flock of about 25 geese, most of which where Cackling Geese. We did have a fly over of 4 geese at the census yesterday, but the two smaller geese did not have small enough bills for cacklers but did have a different voice. These may have arrived overnight. They are the first of the year for me. In this feild were roughly 100 American Pipits
