simonthetanner Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hey all, I just wanted to get some other opinions on this goose that showed up in the east Rogue Valley this afternoon in southwest OR. It was originally identified locally as a Ross's Goose (a rarity), but my views and photos weren't the best and I'm hesitant to report it as such. I'm not used to separating Snow from Ross's, and it looks an awful lot like Snow Goose to me. Anyone else comfortable making the ID from these shots?

Sneat Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Looks good for a Snow Goose to me as well with that larger bill and grin patch. Size isn't a terribly reliable field mark, but I would expect a Ross's Goose to appear smaller next to Greater White-fronted Geese. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
