Thanks to Bill Whan's and Ryan Steiner's posts, I was inspired to visit Ottawa NWR today. About noon I had several hundred tundra swans, a few probable trumpeters, and a couple of mutes; several hundred Canada geese, 50+ snows (roughly half-and-half white and blue), and one each ROSS'S GOOSE and CACKLING GOOSE. The Ross's was hanging with Canadas, not the snows, and left with a small group of the former. Also lots of mallards, about 30 pintails, a few common mergansers and a few black ducks. And Six juvie bald eagles on the trees across the estuary. A harrier in a tree along the visitor center driveway. No white-fronted geese seen, though.
Ross's and cackling reports will go to OBRC soon.
