Checked out the flooded fields just east of Bourget (east of Ottawa) this afternoon, and saw huge numbers of snow geese. They were far back from the road, so both a telescope for viewing and a good camera for photography, were necessary. However, through my binoculars I got reasonable views, but I was really wishing for a camera with a telephoto lens today!! It was a spectacular sight when they all rose up and formed a wall of snow geese against the blue sky. Someone reported that around 100,000 snow geese landed in this area at noon.
