[va-bird] Ross's Goose still Present - photos

["Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yesterday, Feb 7, fellow Buchanan County Bird Club member, Richard Kretz, and I 
(Roger Mayhorn) went back to the park in St Paul, where on Jan 30, Richard had 
found a Ross's Goose. We again found the goose in the company of Canadas, 
Mallards, Coots and domestic ducks and geese. Richard had commented on the lack 
of fear the goose had of people, but I was still surprised that we could 
approach within 8 or 10 feet of the bird. This bird is much smaller than the 
Ross's found last week-end at the old Richlands aiport, the bird there being 
closer in size to a Snow Goose. Richard and I took several photos. They can be 
viewed at the following sites:

Enjoy the birds,
