"But what is it?" The Canada Geese asked each other ...

Wonderful photos Cheryl!......the lone snow goose mixed in with the canadas(I think the canadas are the "lessers" but not sure,"greaters" are pretty big birds)...my favorite is the pic of the lone snow scooping water....all great captures!....thanks for sharing them....jonny

Beutiful!Is there a chance it could be a Ross? It looks awful small espsialy if those are lessers. It's been awhile but I've shoot lessers not much bigger than mallards. Any way, Thanks for all the picts.!

I just looked up Ross's Goose and I think what I saw is a Ross's Goose but I don't know if the Canada geese are lessors. They looked like 'regular-size' to me. He was at the dam yesterday but that's the first time I've ever seen him there.

Yes, it is a Ross's Goose. Those canadians are not lessers, they are too big.

Great Pics!

Cheryl,

Mutty is right, that is absolutely a Ross. The Canada's are probably interior or Eastern. They're too big to be Lesser's and they're not Giants. Very cool Capture--don't see a lot of Ross' geese here in Minnesota.

here I thought it was a snow goose and a lesser canada...I certainly stand corrected ....... ......no wonder I quit duck hunting ....lol!..jonny

Well, guess I got in on this late, but I concur in the goose's Rossness.

[WifeKidsandDog]

Here he is again. Still at the dam today, plus snow geese and lesser Canada geese. Took a lot of photos.
