Tweeters,

In the Big Hanaford Valley of Lewis County east of Centralia-Chehalis on Thursday, I watched two
White-tailed Kites dive bombing a Red-tailed hawk and a White-fronted Goose with a flock of 60
Canada Geese. One of the Canada Geese was all white on the flanks and underbelly and had orange
legs and bill. Maybe a domestic goose/Canada Goose hybrid?
