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:
