Observation details
Continuing at Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant. After receiving permission and signing in, I walked out to the west field and joined birders observing the goose. Goose with dark brown rounded head, brown scapulars, brown wing coverts and dark primaries with paler edges. Jon Dunn pointed out new darker scapulars. Relatively short and thick brown neck, brown eyes, pale eyelids, no noticeable eyerings, tan chest with darker brown horizontal marks on sides and flanks, a few white stipples on flanks, whitish belly and undertail coverts, stubby dark bill with orange loose ring near dark tip, noticeable smile mark. Head and neck noticeably contrast with lighter chest. Drooping right wing seen when walking. Thick orange legs and feet. White rump, brownish tail feathers with pale ends. Behavior: seen sleeping and foraging, pulling at recent low-level new green growth from the ground. Photos and video.
