As I scanned the lake for waterfowl I spotted a white goose pretty far out, 
hidden in the vegetation amongst a group of Canadas.  When it finally 
emerged, I wasn't able to detect any black primaries as it cruised across 
the open water.  We hoped for a snow goose but it was just a domestic I 
presume.
