Post by: Irene on November 07, 2012, 08:59:16 PM

Found this cute little fellow on the water today, I kept thinking how did you get here, where did you come from, and how will you survive....

Ross's goose is also known as The little snow goose:

Thanks, this was my first Ross's Goose too! I'm thinking the little guy blew in on Hurricane Sandy.

It's not related to Sandy as Ross's Geese are coming from the north and usually migrates west of us. A few of them comes to Ontario around this time of year.
