Greetings All

Mike P may have already fwd'd this to Tweeters. This concurs with previous
posts to Frontiers of ID that the Bowerman WF Geese are not of the Greenland
race.

Hello Mike and list members,
Photo number one is of interest. Flavirostris often show a darker
head/underparts. If you look at the photo of the Pink-footed Goose in photo
number one, you will see that it has a darker head, compared with the
White-front to its left. The flavirostris that I have seen often show just
as dark head as the Pink-foot. In picture number two you can plainly see
that there is no difference in colouration in the birds head. If I saw this
bird I would have said albifrons. On a last note, I have no experience with
the races frontalis or gambelli

All the best,
