[va-bird] Snow Goose at Lake Fairfax

Hello VA-Birders,
I was a little surprised to find a juvenile SNOW GOOSE at Lake Fairfax in 
Reston this morning, swimming and later feeding in the grass with 350 or so 
Canada Geese.  350 is a little above average number of Canadas for the Lake by 
about 30%.  Hopefully this guy will hang around for more than one day unlike 
the Cackling from a few weeks ago.  If anyone goes to see this bird, bear in 
mind that there are usually several Bar-headed Geese (exotic) and one barnyard 
white goose that hang out with the Canadas.  Other waterfowl present were 1 
LESSER SCAUP drake, 1 female HOODED MERGANSER, and several MALLARDS.
