Hello All,

I know that there are blue and white morphs of both Snow Goose and Ross's
Goose.  I found these two Ross's yesterday near Columbus, MS, and one of
them has a grayish cap - but the rest of it's body does not resemble a blue
morph.  I guess that it is just individual variation.  Has anyone else seen
these kind of marking in a white morph Ross's Goose?

Sincerely,

Jeff Harris
