Spent about 30 minutes at Frenchman's Bay today and didn't see much until a good number of geese descended upon the Bay...must have been a few hundred.  A fellow birder helped me spot the Goose and I snapped a few pics.  There was also smaller, completely dark goose with the Snow Goose the whole time.  Could it be a hybrid of some kind or a juvenile?  I uploaded the best picture I had...the problem was that soon after I spotted it this guy went into the sleeping position and tucked his head into his back so it was impossible to get a better head shot.  Hopefully it's enough for ID purposes.

First here are a couple of the Blue Morph Snow Goose (his dark friend to the right)


His dark friend below him already tucked away for sleep.


Best pic of this goose...could it be a Canada Goose / Snow Goose hybrid?


And a cool pic of a Greater Scaup...HA!
