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
