Ross's Goose

[xcalibur]

Out taking a few pics on my day off. This fellow was hanging out with the Canada geese on the dike at Stillwater marsh. It looks to be a Ross's goose. First I have seen. There were also some Tundra swans feeding in the area.

It's a duck dressed up like a Snow Goose.

A Ross' Goose dropped by Eagle Creek for a couple days back in December; my first time seeing one. They are cute. Nice photo!

I smoked an Egyptian goose years ago (WW Drylok #1's) coming in with some Canadas. Thought it a speckle belly or something LOL.

neat pic, don't think i've ever seen one in the wild. usually see some snows every year; saw a small flock last week, mostly whites with about 3 or 4 blues mixed in.

Here's a nice pic from Indiana birder Evan Speck, showing Snow and Ross' geese together. The differences are quite apparent.
