A greater white fronted goose, probable Taiga, found at 4547 W Ponds Cir,
unincorporated Arapahoe County. It was seen on 12/19 and 12/20. It is in
with a flock of Canada geese here on the ponds. I was able to get good
pictures of it, I was able to get within 20ft of him without any concern shown
on
his part.
The goose was found on my backyard Christmas count. He was with an
estimated 760 geese on our property! Lots of lesser Canada geese and at least
a couple cackling geese.
Other birds seen for the count: lesser scaup, common goldeneye, ring
necked ducks, bufflehead, shovelers, great blue heron, belted kingfisher,
slate colored and Oregon race juncos.
Thanks to Claire Montour for helping me on the count!
