The Eagle Harbor in Ephraim has a flock of about 45 Canada Geese, with one DARK 
ADULT SNOW GOOSE among them. (South end.)  It is colored just as Sibley’s 
Guide shows the dark adult morph. Orange legs and bill, bill with a “grin 
patch”.  Dark gray body  with silver feathers at back above rump, white head 
with some black at back of neck and head. Smaller than the Canada Geese, larger 
than the Mallards nearby.  
How unusual is this dark adult morph, compared to the white Snow Goose? I 
don’t remember seeing one before.
