Media notes
A Ross's Goose at Brighton Park in Moorefield, WV (Hardy County) on 27 February 2016.
Observation details
Mixed in with the Canada Geese on the South Branch Potomac River. Smaller than the Canada Geese. Plumage all white except for the black wing tips (visible at rest and when the goose flapped its wings). Pink bill was stubbier than the similar white-phase Snow Goose with no dark "grin patch" in the gape of the bill. Bill had only a small extension onto the forehead (a little more than what I think of as a classic Ross', but not nearly as much as a Snow). Photographed.
