Joel N & I found two significant flocks of Greater Snow Geese this afternoon (17 April) in the Riceville/Franklins Corners area north of St-Isidore.

We estimated (conservatively) that the first flock numbered well over 50,000. It was in the same area as reported by Geoff B two days ago. At least two of the geese had visible neck collars which will be reported for identification to the Canadian Wildlife Service.

The second, much smaller flock, numbered around 5,000 & was visible to the north from Hwy 16 just west of Riceville.
