Rare- Continuing adult found earlier by Justin Cober-Lake and Doug Burkett. Small all white goose with black wingtips, rounded head, short neck, short triangular pinkish bill with bluish base, no grin patch. Documentation quality photos in fading light. County bird #189. First sighting of the season for Virginia. Second record for Nelson per ebird. This is likely the same individual incorrectly reported as Snow Goose on Nov 4 by another birder.
