Hi (again), Chalk my previous post up to excitement/nerves/over-analysis! I have looked through my photos more than enough and retract my comment re: this bird (Ross's) being a potential intermediate Ross's/Lesser. It is a juvenile Ross's. Sorry for the spam. Jon ___

Hi there, It appears the bird is a juvenile. I first reported the bird as a juvenile to our (Ottawa's) local list-serve but then changed my mind when I posted to Ontbirds - I thought the coloration on the head was attributed to the surrounding mud that the bird was foraging in. The clean-white thr

Hi there, Today, at 5:15 PM, I had a single Ross's Goose amongst 1500-1700 (rough est) Canada Geese. The bird showed some grayish/brownish wash to the head but I think that is attributed to the mud it was foraging in. All other signs point to this being an adult bird. Please email for photos, if
