Observation details
*rare* I went back through my photos and noticed how the individual pictured appears to have intermediate characteristics between a Snow and Ross's Goose. It has a small bill but it's not as blunt as a Ross's and lacks the black grin mark of a Snow. It also has a slightly curved posterior margin of the bill instead of straight like a Ross's or strongly curved like a Snow. Overall it was smaller and shorter compared to nearby Snow.
