I had never heard of a Swan (Chinese) Goose before this posting.So to learn
more I did some research and found this page from Cornell.Very informative and
interesting.

Confusing Domestic Geese
|
Friday 10:30 am
Vacation day, coffee, doughnuts, and a very visible Snowy Owl at FedEx Cargo
Rd.What could be better than that...?( having my binoculars in the car, perhaps
)
Thank you to the photographer from Shakopee who gave me a loaner.
I heard first hand there were two SO's but the first one at the observation end
parking lot light pole got spooked by a utility truck and flew way, way off.
The second one as documented in past days on eBird has beautiful black barring.
Clearly visible on the roof of the shipping building office entrance perched at
the highest point on the safety railing 50 yards from the road. Three Crows
came to investigate this unique creature, and give him a hard time.He hissed at
them in only a way SO's can, and the crows called for reinforcements but with
no one else in hearing distance they soon lost interest and left.Watched him
for an hour before it flew off to the South East.
