Observation details

The RI Avian Records Committee recently decided this bird seen in 2016/early 2017 is a wild bird. I did see it. I had great views in my scope. I personally thought it had the breast of a wild bird and not of a fattened domestic. I did not have a good camera at the time and it was at the golf course, too far for the camera I had, though I did see it fly into the water with the flock of Canada Geese. Since the Avian Committee FINALLY made the decision that it is wild, I assume ebird will/does also. I do not have photo evidence that I was there, but am attaching two screenshots of my blog (with the date on the top of one of the screenshots) from that day, as the only evidence that I saw the Graylag Goose. Once approved, I'll delete my screenshots since they add no scientific info to ebird
