This is the lighter colored bird. All of its scapulars and coverts are blue-gray and neatly tipped with an edging of white. Adult?
Деталі спостереження
Found yesterday, 2 January, by Don Reimer, these two birds were feeding with Canada Geese and an adult Snow Goose on the short-cropped grass athletic fields here. Medium small geese with comparatively small heads and short bills. The head and neck graded from grayish brown with a wash of cinnamon at the base to dark chocolate brown on the head. One bird might have shown a thin white line over the base of its forehead (need to check photos on that); one bird paler and larger. The body was a silvery gray with thin white edging to coverts and scapulars. The greater coverts were palest and most silvery overall. A thin white line bordered the dorsal side of the flanks where they abutted the wings, and the rear flanks were darker, forming a dark crescent at rear. Undertail coverts white. The tail tip was broadly white and showed prominently beyond the wings. Legs and feet were deep, bright pink. The bills were dusky at their base and showed a pinkish-gray band across the maxilla. The eyes were dark. The status of this species has gone from extreme rarity in the Northeast in the 1990s to rare but expected. This past fall and winter (Nov-Jan 2016-17) appears to be a banner year for the species. These birds represent the first Knox Co. record. I have seen the species in Cumberland, Washington, Lincoln, and Knox Cos. (the species has also occurred in Sagadahoc and Aroostook Cos.).
