Ross's Goose Visits Port Rowan

Cold enough for you on Friday?

This Ross's Goose was hanging out with some Canada Geese just north of Port Rowan on the east side of Bay Street around 
the 1st Concession.

According to Ron Ridout of Bird Studies Canada (http://www.bsc-eoc.org/) this is the latest spring record at Long Point by more than two months for this species.

However, Ron jokingly pointed out that given Friday's "frigid temperature and north winds maybe it's our earliest fall record."
