Observation details

**Rare. County bird for all of us. Found by CLW in large flock of ca. 650 Snow Geese that flew overhead, eventually coming in quite close. From Snow Goose, by smaller size, shorter neck, short stubby bill and details of bill. In field, seemed like it may have been an adult, but from photos note the presence of some "dirty" feathers on the face and a couple of outer secondaries with dusky internal markings.
