Amazing!

On the way home last night we stopped by the ponds near our house to see what was going on with the ducks and Canada Geese. We were surprised to see the muted colors on this goose, we hadn't seen her before. She is a leucistic goose (there's a good word to look up in your dictionaries).

She was very patient and let me get lots of photos . . .


Though uncommon, these are surprisingly, not rare . . .


I like the contrast between her and the regular Canada Goose.



Such striking feather colors . . .


The purple reflection in the water is from a house across the pond . . .



A hawk was flying over and she was looking to see if it was a danger to her . . .


No danger - but her friends, the ducks, certainly dove for cover . . .


The blue bill and feet were astounding!

Have you ever seen one of these - or another unusual goose?
