Observation details
1 Ross's Goose in a flock of CAGO. It was in the field at the corner of the campus near intersection of Route 7 and Potomac View Road. I was mostly standing on the grass next to Potomac View Road (which is higher than the field). The Ross's Goose walked slowly *toward* me, even crossing the ditch (lined with stones), coming within probably 30 feet from me, giving me excellent looks! It then wandered away. At times it would suddenly jump slightly to dodge mock charges from nearby CAGOs, but overall they were peaceful. Also note: on weekdays you need a permit or use metered parking on NOVA campus, I paid 2 quarters for parking, well worth it!
