Title: Unknown Goose
Post by: Bluffs Birder on March 15, 2009, 11:32:01 PM

Hi All,

Looking for an ID for this goose found at Cootes Paradise, Burlington Bay.  Was told it was a White Barnyard Goose but I'm not 100% sure after looking in my birding books.  I think it looks more like a Snow Goose then anything else but I've seen them before and I know they're not bigger then a Canada Goose, this bird was hanging around with a Canada Goose when we saw it and it was a tad bigger.  Sorry about the image quality, we're only working with 3MP here.

Thankyou for any suggestions!
Walter

No black anywhere, that rules out snow goose. Bill shape and head doesn't look right either.
