Christmas Geese
No, not Christmas dinner! I was at my lake house doing a bit of work yesterday and spotted the Canada Geese and the Greylag Goose at the dam end of the lake (about a half-block from where I was taking pictures). Needless to say, I was using my long zoom lens when taking the picture. We also were driving around our former community and stopped to snap a few pictures of these hybrid geese. The hybrid geese were walking around on the shoreline of a small lake at a park near the main road there in the community.
I had never seen these particular geese before but it does make sense that there would be more than one hybrid cross between the domestic goose (Greylag and others?) and the resident large flocks of Canada Geese. I was taken aback by the white goose that looks just like a domestic white goose except when you notice that tiny black spot on its neck.
