Below are links to a couple distant photos that I took of the Ross's
Goose at Bakken's Pond today.

I did not get a photo of the second small white goose that was
present, but it also looked to have an entirely pink bill without the
black "grin-patch" of a Snow Goose. When these two geese were in
close proximity to eachother, one was slightly larger overall, with a
longer neck, and the bill was about half again as large.
