Note: * Thanks to Mark Read with ID help. After ID was make by Mark, image was sent by Ron Pittaway to goose expert Ken Abraham - retired Research Scientist with the Ontario Government. He stated " Definitely a hybrid Anser x Branta. I think it’s quiet likely a legitimate Snow Goose x Canada Goose. "

Fascinating bird, looks like different parts have been stuck together.
