Good morning,
From the morn I study birds the less I know category…
This morning at Fossil Creek Reservoir in Larimer County I observed what I first believed was a dark morph snow goose (photos below). After watching it awhile and looking at my photos I started thinking is may be a Snow X Canada hybrid. I bit of reading online confused my more.
This bird was a bit larger than the associated cackling geese, had a small grin patch and pink bill, pink legs, and, to me, the body color of a Canada/cackling goose but perhaps a bit darker. Any thoughts or tips on ID would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Farmer
