Blue Phase Ross's Goose, possible snow hybrid
This Blue Phase Ross's Goose has been hanging around the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge with his typical friends. Talk is that this one might be a hybrid with a Snow Goose. Note the black "smile" patch on its beak. However the head and body size is consistent with a Ross's Goose.
