Field Notes

Description:

Small white goose with black wing tips and a stubby pink bill. This rarity has been spotted hanging around sewage lagoons for a couple weeks, and I finally had a chance to check it out and was luck to see it. This bird is must have gotten lost on its migration.

Habitat:

Lagoons (ponds)
