Observation details

Small white goose with black folded wings. The bill was small and had a “pushed in” look to it. I could see the base of the bill was grayish, and the rest of the bill a dull orangish color. No “lips” were seen as what a regular Snow Goose would have. I have a video that I took, so when I get home I’ll try to add it in with this report, if possible. Otherwise, I have a low quality photo. The bird was maybe 100 to 150 yards south of the road, but I had to back up to a safe place so I wouldn’t frighten off all the other geese.
