A Ross's Goose was seen at Cove Lake State Park this afternoon during snow
showers. He was hanging out with the Canada Geese. He is very small with a
short bill and rounded head. (Easy to differentiate among the white domestic
geese in the park). Strangly, he was very approachable while eating grass
among the other geese. Must have been the weather.. The bird has some black on
the bill near the base, but not a prominent "grin" patch that would indicate a
Snow Goose.
I did not see the Eagles there the past couple days.
