Hi All=2C
Harold Forsyth and I did some birding in Annapolis Co today and saw this lo=
ne goose swimming on the freshwater (east) side of the causeway.=20
http://ebird.org/ebird/canada/view/checklist?subID=3DS25795013
It seemed healthy=2C was swimming in very swift water=2C and seemed alert w=
hile we watched. The bill didn't seem to have obvious bright colour=2C the =
breast was very light=2C the head=2C neck and back all seemed to be the sam=
e colour=2C we were unable to see the legs or belly.
I would assume that a domestic goose would shy away from the swift water=2C=
as many are more used to waddling around a yard=2C and are very rotund bel=
ow. But one that has become feral may have developed better endurance on wa=
ter.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
George (and Harold) Forsyth
