Observation details

this goose stood out as much larger than the regular geese that breed there or the ones all over Fresno in the ponding basins. Probably at least 20% bigger with a huge swan-like beak and very dark chestnut colored breast. wondering if it's a fulva/occidentalis type rather than the expected one due to the dark color and size combination. The employees said it's been there quite a long time. I found it in the southeast corner pond.
