[cayugabirds-l] Ross’s Goose at Treman Marine Park

2023-01-25 Thread Gary Kohlenberg
The Ross’s Goose Dave Nutter found yesterday is still swimming around the north end of Treman Marine Park in Ithaca as of 9:30 am today. Many mixed species of waterfowl are in the SW corner of the lake if you can see through the snow flakes. Gary -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.Nort

The photos posted of this bird looks like a hybrid Snow X Ross's to me. The bill is a little long, seems to be curved at the back edge, and it looks like it might have a grin patch. Kevin -Original Message- From: bounce-127096231-3493...@list.cornell.edu On Behalf Of Gary Kohlenberg

Hi Kevin, This bird wasn’t the smallest individual I’ve seen, nor the tiniest of triangle bill examples of Ross’s Goose I admit. I’ll say the curved back bill edge seen in my photos didn’t look as pronounced during viewing. The same with what looks like a small grin patch in pics. Ross’s x L
