While doing (or should I say supposed to be doing?) school work in my room
today, I noticed a nice flock of Ring-billed Gulls flying in the distance.
There was one bird that I originally dismissed as another Ring-bill, but then I
realized it had a longer neck and seemed chunkier. Taking a second look, this
time with binocs, the bird turned out to be a Ross's Goose (alone, except for
following the gulls). I would have never accepted it as a Ross's had it not
been with Ring-bills for a nice size comparison, and had I not payed attention
to its, only slight, grin patch and its neck length which was relatively short.
Still hoping for some Sandhill Cranes...
