Greetings!
Ross's Goose at Blendon Woods Metro Park - Thoreau Lake, Monday 2/2/16 around 2pm. Flew in with Canada Geese. Seen in front of the "west" blind, although it was swimming out toward the middle of the lake. It was also in the company of Mallards, Black Ducks, Gadwall, and one American Coot. A Green-Winged Teal was reported earlier, though not seen when I was observing.

The Ross's Goose was on the ice in front of the "west" blind, but then swam out toward the middle of the water.
Normally, I'd add a Nature Center bird report too, but the roof is being repaired and wildlife viewing at the Nature Center is not optimal today.
