Media notes
Ross's Goose (left) foraging with immature and adult Snow Geese.
Observation details
Continuing adult grazing up the rocky hillside in the SE corner of the pond. Eventually both the Ross's Goose and Snow Geese took a short flight across the trail and dropped into the field next to the airport with all the rest of the Canada Geese. Photographed with the two Snow Geese. Noted smaller size compared to the Snow Geese, rounded head giving a "super cute" expression; small, short triangle shaped bill (height at base about the same as the length) and no black "grin patch" as was seen on the bills of the nearby Snow Geese.
