Greetings!

For those of you interested in just plain viewing or adding a Snow Goose to your January list, there is currently one on the Ohio University campus.

It is an adult, white phase, Snow Goose (#82) that is currently socializing with three, white domestic geese and a flock of 200+ Canada geese, on the floodplain of the Hocking River. It was sleeping when I left it just a few minutes ago. The bird with its black primaries, wide grin patch, pale pink legs, and smaller size, is very distinct from the other three domestic geese.

The location is right along Richland Avenue on the southwest part of the campus. The field is just northwest of the Hocking River and the Richland Avenue bridge that crosses the river. The field is also just west of the football stadium and its main parking lot and immediately south of the log cabin (former visitor's center).

Good luck!

Good birding,

Jason
