The Greater White-fronted Goose discovered yesterday at the beach in nearby Cowan Lake State Park was refound today on the mowed area near a decorative lake on the Roberts estate in company with about 340 Canada Geese.

Naturally, I scoured the park first to no avail. In fact, I saw no geese of any kind in the park, except for decoys. Four duck blinds were active on Cowan Lake and this level of use has a markedly depressive effect on waterfowl numbers on the lake. To make matters worse, Cowan was about 40% iced over. If you go to look for this bird, be aware that OH 730 is a busy highway. It is possible to get clear of the roadway, but one is still uncomfortably exposed to fast traffic. Use good sense.
