Observation details

Pink bill, tan body, rich brown lower on body (and one had more dark brown on the breast), dark brown stripe up the back of the neck to top of head. Gray face. White wing stripe, white eye ring. Great scope views: enough to notice that the undertail is white with dark speckling. They were roosting at the side of the pond, then flew short distances and swam around most of the pond. At least one of them fed briefly. Near sunset, they followed two of the mallards, swimming across the pond, and walking up on shore by the beach. They bathed and preened a bit, but then one of the geese was aggressive, getting in between them and separating them (ducks looked nervous, and one flew over the goose to rejoin the other). Flew southeast just after 8 pm. Heard whistling as they flew out. Great find earlier today (by Joe Fanelli?).
