Media notes
"Blue" Goose form of Snow Goose
Observation details
dark-morph "Blue Goose." I had initially written, on 6 June: "this is a hybrid goose of some type, maybe even a farm goose, but size of CAGO, mostly pale grayish with a distinct white face/head (recalls 'Blue' Goose is concept) but bigger billed than SNGO. Maybe a Snow Goose X Canada Goose? Or a backcross with farm goose? Photos taken." Since then I downloaded the photos, saw that it looked like a "Blue Goose," and sent photos to Steve Mlodinow and Dan Singer, both of whom have 'confirmed' the "Blue Goose" call.... still can't imagine what one is doing here in June.
