[birding] Ross's Geese?

[Paul Rentz]

As promised, I'm finally posting distant shots of the two Ross's? we saw
(1-2-09)- and others have mentioned- down at Finley. This sighting was
across McFadden's Marsh but I've seen similar- or the same ones- at various
points west of the marsh near Bruce Road through Finley. The links here go
to the full size image so that you'll have a chance to see them.

This one may be the best of the group for positive ID-

And then here's a website with both Snow and Ross's-and a rare blue morph
Ross's goose-
