Observation details
This bird also has been in the park for weeks. I believe I initially mis-ID'd it as Snow X Cackling. It is Canada-sized with all-white head and neck and pink-grayish bill and Canada body. So: The head is smaller/rounder than a Snow, and the bill seems shorter and shaped more like Ross's, but if not Snow, where did it get the hint of a grin patch? I lean toward Ross/s X Canada Goose, but look at the photos. I think it could go either way.
