Hello Ontbirders
At around 4:20p.m. Ben and I observed 6 Greater White-fronted Geese and 4 Cackling Geese along the Carp River in Carp. The geese were resting  along with 1500+ Canada Geese in the flood plain of the Carp River. It is best to observe from the end of Rivington Str. not from Carp Road. Rivington Str. is a dead end and it is easy to study the geese from this location.
Good birding, Bruce and Ben

Directions: From  Ottawa take Hwy. 417 west to the Carp Road exit. and turn right and follow Carp Road  to the village of Carp. After crossing the bridge take the first right, Rivington Str. and follow to the end.
