[Maine-birds] 4 snow geese in nearby NH

Hi all OCD birders

4 snow geese were  seen yesterday in Rollingsford, NH., in the morning on Roberts RD. and in the afternoon on Baer RD. 
       Over the years I have observed that these geese roost at night on the Salmon Falls River and early in the morning by about 8 AM they fly into NH or Maine. 

  In the last month there have been as many as 600 Canada Geese mostly in NH. Some times they split into two group and are in both states. So what are the chances for them to be in Maine, about 20 percent is my best guess.

      Where in Maine you ask?   At sunrise try  Rt. 101 at the William A. Bray Memorial Park. If they fly into Maine than look for them at the Links Golf Course on RT. 4, Also Black berry Hill RD.   The ones i have seen in Maine in the last month have been at the golf course.

and mine with photos https://ebird.org/nh/view/checklist/S51295104       Just in case you need to see what they look like.  In the afternoon Kevin had them on Baer Rd.   https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S51306856   (no photos yet)  Other places in NH are Silver St. and RT 4, also Foundry ST.

Happy birding
