I for one confirm what Nathaniel Nye has been seeing lately regarding large numbers of Canadian geese in the Hilliard area. I was driving southwaed this afternoon on Alton-Darby Rd. just south of the golf course, when I came upon a large concentration of Canadian geese. I didn't have time to stop to peruse the group for either Cackling Geese and/or Brants inside the group,but most definitely the thought was on my mind,though.
