I checked a few sites, no shooting opportunity at all. When heading home we checked out two Ponds very close to home. When I walked over to check on the larger pond with my binoculars, I couldn't believe my eyes seeing a Ross's Goose. To my best knowledge this has been the first ever sighting of this species in Guelph.
Super rare in Ontario as well.
