Observation details

Amazing find by Andy an hour ago - seen earlier in the day by multiple others but ID’ed as snow geese. There is ongoing speculation that the 1st-winter bird might be a hybrid, but the current consensus seems to be “no” - I’ll defer to the experts and update if necessary. Viewed quite close from bill forward blind, pics later
