My girlfriend was watching the Broncos game last night and they showed a shot of City Park at sunset. There were many more geese on the lake than I had seen at midday a few days ago, so today I went back about 4:00 and watched flocks of geese slowly trickle in for the evening.
-- In a large flock feeding on the lawn between the museum and the lake I found a blue-morph SNOW GOOSE (likely the same one I have seen in this area the last two winters) and a bright white goose that looked good for ROSS'S GOOSE -- though it seemed a little big and the bill a little long (didn't seem triangular, but definitely no grin patch). I am wondering if it might be a Snow x Ross's hybrid, or maybe I'm just over-thinking it. No pictures taken. If anyone goes out to see it, let me know what you think. Best time for goose-viewing is 4 - 5 pm.
