[cobirds] Douglas Co Ross’s Goose

Today on our way to Chatfield we same a bunch of Canada geese on the side of the road with a small white goose amongst them. Initially thought it was a snow goose but other birders looked at the photos and thought maybe Ross's based on diminutive stature. After comparing photos to Sibleys guide it definitely looks more like a Ross's. Dark to pink bill with small grin patch. The bird eventually ended up at chatfield proper with the rest of the flock
