Observation details
**UPDATE February 2015: Accepted by the California BRC as the 1st record for the state. **MEGA rarity- if accepted, it will be the 1st record for California and one of very few for the Lower 48. Found about 3:45PM by Garrett MacDonald and Tyler Pockette. First noticed and ID'd as Bean-Goose species in flight with ~600 white geese and 2 Greater White-fronted Geese. We have no prior field experience with either Bean-Goose species. A bird accepted by the California BRC as Taiga/Tundra Bean-Goose was at this location from 11/9/2010-1/12/2011 and our bird differs from that bird in a number of characters.
