20151219-2 051 SERIES - Grearter White-fronted Goose and Canada Geese.jpg

Ottawa West

One image of a Greater White-fronted Goose with raised wings and one of a Hybrid Goose taken in 2009, with similarly raised wings. This is only the second time in eight years that I've seen a G W-f Goose at AHP. The previous time was in 2007. In 2009, there was, however, a likely hybrid G W-f Goose in the park. That one has been seen there several times since 2009.

Top image: A recent rare visitor (2015).
