Ross's Goose (juvenile)

Big thanks to Hank for alerting me about this one and later rescuing me when the memory card in my camera corrupted, destroying the entire morning's worth of photos including several taken of this goose. Thankfully, the goose hung around and with Hank's borrowed memory card, I was able to retake some photos of this very rare goose, my first of this species. My memory card was not salvageable; no matter what I tried, it could not even be reformatted, so I exchanged it for a new one as they have lifetime warranty.

Now generally considered by 'The Powers That Be' to be a hybrid with a Lesser Snow Goose.

Best image of a Ross's Goose I've ever seen. Excellent. Bummers on loosing your other images.

Glad my card helped Chris. Great to get this species. A first for many of us in Ottawa.

Great addition to your life list. Very well captured. Most of us here have walked in your shoes with regard to the corrupt memory card.
