Hello Tweeters,
I noticed that there a few sightings of the Tulle White-fronted Goose
sightings in Washington Fieldnotes and on tweeters.
A few years back Kevin Aanerud Patrick and I had 2 White-fronted Goose on
the airport of Bowerman Basin.One of this White-fronted was halve the
size.No one could ID this bird in Washington.It was a birder in Oregon who
saw this birds ID the small bird as a Tulle,where a small group of this
birds over winter on Tulle Lake in California.The bird what I photographed
in early March is a Taiga species .
I trying to locate this photos I took of the small Goose I believe was
photographed in 2006.The so called Tulle is in no birdbooks listed.

Cheers Ruth Sullivan
