Post by: denis on February 07, 2010, 11:20:53 AM

i photographed this goose at lasalle yesterday,and i,m unfamiliar with this species.some suggested it was a snow goose,but unlike any snow goose i,ve ever seen.this goose is larger than a canada. hybrid possibly? i need you experts out there.

Looks like some kind of hybrid or barnyard goose.

Domestic goose would be my guess as well.
