[cobirds] Stearns Lake, snow geese + strange hybrid

Cobirders:  
              11-14-22:   This afternoon at Stearns Lake, Boulder County I observed, one white snow goose, plus one blue morph snow goose.  

Plus a very strange looking hybrid goose -  white head,  body color was dark similar to Canada goose, but darker chest, and a bill the was bright yellow-orange (not like a snow goose).   Very strange x hybrid, perhaps with a domestic goose?  Sorry, I do not have a photo.  

There are about 2000 cackling and canada geese present along with northern shovelers, some common goldeneyes, buffleheads, a western grebe, and a couple ring necked ducks.  Bald eagles are still present, along with many white crowned sparrows in the shrubs along the dirt road going south.
