Hi:

About 10 AM near the dock just east of the Lobster Shop in Tacoma (Ruston
Way) I saw a bird that appeared identical in size and shape to a Mallard
Duck. However, all of its coloration was the same tone and colors of the
dozen or so Canada Geese that it was with. The duoose (goock?) did not have
an elongated neck, only the matching coloration, and not in the same places,
but it was so much alike with the Canada's next to it you couldn't ignore
it.

I can't find a goose/duck mix like this on the Internet. Is this common?

By the way, they have a goose population control in this very area and a few
months ago I counted 23 goslings. I'd say their control program isn't
working very well.
