Observation details

Initially, I reported this as a Snow Goose simply based on the likelihood. When looking again at the photos, it occured to me that the bill was rather stubby and the color pattern looked more like what is typical of Ross's Goose. Enlarging the best photo, I could see that the base of the bill was more vertical than curved. I have other photos, but they don't show anything better than this one. The second is provides a size comparison to the Canada Goose next to it.
