I than went to: The Links at Outlook Golf , York, US-ME
Comments: The Geese where just over the fence in the farm land next to the
golf course

Canada Goose 238 they where bunched together so hard to count, most
likely more. This flock would be worth checking out for anyone going by.
They where bunched up a lot and about 200 yards or more away, so a rare
goose could of been hiding in the group.

On the way home Blackberry Hill Road, Berwick,Maine, did not have any geese,
it is usually hit or miss this fall with 100 to 250 geese there at times.

Happy birding
