[cobirds] Re: ID help on a goose sp., Larimer

I'm no geneticist, but Sibley says that all manner of color gradients exist in Blue Snow Goose.  And this bird clearly has the dainty bill of a Ross.'  Suggesting Snow x Ross' hybrid.

Hey Birders,

I photographed this goose at Lake Loveland in Larimer County that is very interesting.

My ebird checklist has the photos and my thoughts about the bird's ancestry.

I would appreciate any feedback on what others think about this goose, and even if it not identifiable, I thought I would share the photos just so others can enjoy this beautiful bird!
