There were two hybrid geese at Sharp Point Ponds in Fort Collins this morning, near Sharp Point Drive and Prospect. One appeared to be a Snow x Canada/Cackling [white head of Snow, with larger bill and "smile", and body of Canada/Cackling]; the other appeared to be a Ross's x Cackling (eBirds doesn't list Ross's x Canada, so I won't hazard such cross, but admit to not determining which) [the head was the head of a Ross's, with an obviously smaller bill, and body of a Cackling].
Also present was a Greater White-fronted Goose, presumably the one seen there for at least a couple of weeks, along with expected waterfowl.
