Observation details

Found yesterday by Dorothy Thurman, Natalie Rekittke, and Kathy Cowens. Mallard-sized white goose with seemingly mostly Ross’s ancestry, but showing some Snow genes. Likely a hybrid Ross’s backcross. Small bill, but intermediate in shape and size, and with small gape. Sparse bluish feathers throughout body also suggesting mixed genetics.
