Cackling Geese are back Sept 18

[Gord]

I stopped by Sardis Pond this evening for a walk. I could hear Cackling Geese from the parking lot and counted 103 of them. Last year, I saw my first of the fall on September 16. In 2021 it was September 14. I suspect 2024's fall arrivals will be seen on September 20? Lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers about and the young Green Heron continues as well.
