MecklenburgCo. Snow Goose



Birders,
Meck. Co. listers may want to check the canada goose flock at McAlpine Park 
in Charlotte for a blue morph snow goose seen yesterday 1-27. The goose is 
wild but the feral canadas have calmed it down some. Beware that a large, 
bulky domestic goose with some dark coloring also freqents the park 
occasionally. The snow goose is much smaller than the canadas and the 
"grinning patch " on the bill is readily seen. Water pipits are also on the 
snow covered soccer fields there , affording leisurely looks at this species. 
Both of these species are firsts for the park I believe.
