Snow! goose that is...

Tweet Spent a good portion of the day at East Fork with another birder looking for the Red-necked Grebe that was photographed here yesterday.  While we spotted a grebe that looked different from the Pied and Horned Grebes that were near it, it was just too far away to make any kind of conclusions.

After leaving East Fork, I decided to check a local park that is not too far from me to see if anything good was hiding out here.  I have seen some good things here in the past.

As soon as I arrived at the park and pulled into the parking lot for the playground, I noticed a flock of Canada Geese.  I was hoping something was with them.  I soon spotted a white goose, but I passed it off as one of the domestics I have seen here before.  I got out of the car and walked down to the pond to discover that is was a Snow Goose!

The flock decided to get out of the water and graze before flying back to the pond.

A very nice end to the day!  (The forecast for tonight says snow, but with temps near 50° F when I write this at 8pm, I doubt it.)

*For local birders, the address for this park is 2238 State Route 756, Moscow Ohio, 45153 which maps to here:
