White Fronted Goose?‏ Roger Weiss 1/6/14

This goose was with a flock of Canada Geese below the hatchery at the mouth of Whatcom Creek Sunday afternoon.  It has the white band around the bill base and orange legs which indicate a White-Fronted Goose.  However it is equal in size to the Canada Geese.

That Goose is a hybrid and has been around different places for quite a few years now. I see it most frequently with the group that hangs out in the Padden Estuary or the vacant properties across from the Lagoon.
