Three Little White Gooses

[Dan P]

Taken in the late afternoon on 5-25-2022 at Santa Fe Dam Rec. Area in Irwindale, CA.

These 3 small white geese were amongst a group of about 25-30 domestic geese.

I'm pretty sure the smallest one is a Ross's Goose.  The other two I'm not sure if they are two Snow Goose, a Snow Goose and a Snow X Ross's Goose, or two Snow X Ross's Goose -- or something else.

What do you think?

2 smallest ones are Ross’s Geese.  The bigger one I assume is a SnowxRoss’s based on size.

I think the 'grin patch' on the larger one is too small for a full Snow.

They are all ADGOs (Adorable Gooses).

I agree that the two smaller ones are pure Ross's.

Thanks all.

I want to show you a couple of photos from there same location taken on 2-3-2022 when there were 5 of them there.  I think the smallest bird in the foreground of the first photo walked ahead of the other 4 that are in the second photo.  Is the largest one with the biggest "grin" a Snow Goose?

There are two birds in the last photos that definitely have SNGO in them

I'd feel comfortable calling the middle bird in the last shot a Snow.
