Observation details

Flew in with over 600 Canada geese. Continuing in the general area (Sterling, Clinton, Lancaster, Bolton). Poor photos. Photos don't really show the bill, but I do think it's the same Ross's goose and not a snow goose based on size, what I could see of the head and bill shape in the scope, and limited view in photos. Originally found by Jon Skinner last week and seen at six or more other locations in the general area since.
