I have friends in the Hawkesbury area ( St Eurgene ) and I will be visiting them the last week of March.  Any tips on good birding areas are appreciated.  Thanks, Bob

Well, I arrived in Hawkesbury yesterday ( tuesday 25th ) at about 3:30pm

About an hour later we heard honking and looked up.  The sky was litteraly filled with mutltiple upon multiple wedges of geese.  As far as we could see to the left ( north west) and right ) south east  and from the direction they were coming from..

They were flying from the generaql direction of Montreal and headed west toward Ottawa.

the passage lasted for well over an hour and a half, and buy counting the numbers in several wedges we estimate at leat 20,000 geese in this flight.

I have never seen anything like tis before and it was simply awesome

Sorry I haven't been checking, but try the area just east of Bourget, north of Casselman. At the corner of Russell Road and Johnson, there should still be thousands of Snow Geese.
