On my way home from Carver County this evening, I stopped at the Pigeon Lake overlook off of Hwy 15 in Meeker County to see what might be there. Among all of the cormorants, pelicans, herons, and egrets on the island were a few Ring-billed Gulls and one white goose which seemed to be roughly the same size as the gulls. It was working its way towards the right point of the island, so it had its back to me for the most part as it wended its way through the cormorants and I never got a very good look at the bill. Once it reached the point, it continued on around towards the backside of the island and was immediately lost from sight behind all of the other birds. It was either a Snow Goose or a Ross Goose, but based on its apparent size, I'm leaning towards Ross Goose. If anyone gets a better look, I'd appreciate hearing your opinion.
