Could only find Canada Geese and a single Blue Goose. Also saw a bunch of Wild Turkeys. However, on the way back towards Salisbury on Naticoke Road, we found and photographed a single Ross' Goose in with a flock of about 1000 Snow Geese feeding in a field north of Naticoke road just west of Levin Dashiell Road. The bird was seen along the south side of the field (next to Naticoke Road) at around 3:00 PM associating with a small group of Snow Geese that included two Blue Geese. It was a perfect, petite Ross's Goose with a triangular bill. No doubt. Great bird. Sorry I couldn't get this posted sooner.
