Media notes
It was paired with the GWFG on the right. They followed each other constantly but look at the size difference!
Observation details
Odd for this hybrid type in that it got most of the CANG size. It was 85% the size of a CANG but was paired with a GWFG that it absolutely dwarfed. Most of these hybrids I’ve seen have been more GWFG size. Photos make it look more CANG-like. In the field at a distance when I first saw it it just looked like a large, dark GWFG and I was considering Tule Goose but the size difference was just too striking and I walked out onto the flats and was able to get the photos that confirmed it was a hybrid.
