[TN-Bird] Lone White Geese, 2010-2011

A summary of the "lone white geese" reported by Tennessee eBirders  
during the winter of 2010-2011:

Snow Goose:  13
Ross's Goose:   3

Broken down by regions -- Snow/Ross:

West TN:  4/1
Middle TN:  3/2
East TN:  6/0

Most reports of Ross's Geese now are of multiple birds; in west TN  
sometimes double digits.  Perhaps with the increase in numbers, the  
classic image of the Ross's Goose as the "lone white goose" has  
passed away.
