smittyone@cox.net Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 This Snow Goose was seen yesterday in NW Missouri. Is it an adult intermediate-morph, or an immature bird? More importantly, is there an online (not FB) guide showing the numerous morphs, color stages of Snow Goose? I can identify adult white and adult blue morphs, but beyond those, I'm lost.

von Humboldt Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) It's an immature blue morph. Notice how the feet and bill have not turned completely pink as they would in any mature snow goose Edited March 15 by von Humboldt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
