Merry Christmas! I was treated to a new arrival at theic neighborhood pond this morning - a white-phase Snow Goose! He is still there right now. I saw him circling with a bunch of Canadas and he was indecisive about where to land, so I grabbed my camera and got some pictures of it, which are posted at www.dropshots.com/airforcenye. I also saw a Gr. White-fronted Goose fly overhead with a flock of Canadas while I was outside. -Nate Nye Hilliard ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
