Looks like a juv GWF to me... black tail with white trim, large light colored
bill... but I'm no expert. Will post photos when I get home later.

Subject: [Umpqua Birds] Possible Juv Emperor Goose at Pass Creek Park
I've been told second hand about a small dark goose that may be a juv Emperor
Goose, seen this afternoon at Pass Creek Park near Curtin in northern Douglas
County, along I-5, with some Canada Geese. I cannot verify the identity; no
photo. Just thought someone might be interested in looking.
