I was just looking at Allan's excellent pictures of the Snow Geese taken
near Washington Court House and realized that there is a Ross's Goose among
them. Allan's best picture of his series of four shots showing this bird is
the second picture from the left, one of the closer shots of the bird. In
that picture the Ross's Goose is the third bird from the right, the one
directly behind the immature Snow Goose. You can clearly see it's smaller
overall size and short stubby bill.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Snow Geese remain at I-71 and Ohio 35


Followed Jack's post yesterday and found the Snow Geese this afternoon
about 1PM. Exit 65 (not 67) off I-71. They had moved to a "pond" off US
35, about 1/2 mile from yesterday's sighting, directly opposite the Prime
Outlet Mall parking lot.
Pictures of this unusual sighting at http://www.pbase.com/nsxbirder in
the "Recent" gallery.
