On Monday Gayle reported a light colored Canada Goose near Plymouth "When I looked closer one goose had the normal ringed neck but from the chest down was ivory with caramel wings. (It looked almost like a swans coloring).". I observed a very similar plumage in a bird on Rochester's Silver Lake. In addition I saw a Cormorant, a couple Hooded Mergs, Common Mergs, Scaup, Mallards, and Coots.
Today on Silver Lake I couldn't find the atypical goose but there were a lot of Northern Shoveler's, Coots, Common and Hooded Mergansers, about 10 Bufflehead, about 10 DC Cormorants, Woodies, and of course the resident Mallards and Canada Geese. There is even a sharp drake wood duck hanging out in the parking lot where the geese beg so photographers may walk up to full frame with a 50mm lens.
