Photographs from Rice Co., Wells Lake, yesterday, 16 March 2009. http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika/RiceCoBirding#
The Ross's Goose was seen independently by Gene Bauer, Dave Bartkey, and John Holden and me. We all thought it looked a bit large. The photo shows, however, no grinning patch and a relatively short bill and rounded head. So it COULD be of hybrid origin, but, all things being equal and not having a genetic testing kit along, John and I are content to call it Ross's. (The titmouse photo is from last year.) dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://danerika.googlepages.com/home http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika [email protected] ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
