Locked Hybrid Ross's x Snow Goose


 

After birding this morning with Felipe Guerrero at Willow Lake, I examined my photos and found that what we first thought was a Ross's Goose was actually a Ross's x Snow Goose hybrid. Relative to the Ross's?ideal, this bird had a longer neck, longer bill, rounded base to the bill, and small grinning patch. See Sibley (2nd Ed.) p. 11. Also had Greater White-fronted Geese, Snow Geese, Tundra Swans, a pelican, 3 Horned Grebes, and a lot more. See eBird post.
