A Tiny Little Goose comes A-Calling



Things got a little hectic for a couple of days as a Ross Goose was spotted in Ann Arbor and very close to my apartment. That meant a couple of days of photography, editing, posting, and such.
This little guy came on the scene on Thursday, February 28th and by Saturday the 1st, he was no where to be seen. To give you an idea of its size, here is a more distant shot with a gull and Canada Geese along side of it for comparison.

After much debate it was decided that this was most likely a Ross x Lesser Snow hybrid to some extent. Regardless it was a fine bird (a life bird for me) and created a great deal of excitement.
