Two probable Greater White-fronted Geese were at Mentor Lagoons this afternoon. After walking out to the lake and seeing nothing, we walked back into the parking lot to our car. We spooked a flock of Canada Geese in the little "river" that runs by the marina, all which started calling. Amidst the Canada's honking however, were two very different, much lighter-sounding geese. As I put my bins up I got a glimpse of a brown goose with a brown neck and pink-orange bill. Unfortunately they flew directly away and did not return. However, the calls were quite distinctive, as later confirmed. Not much else of note.
