I would like to use a picture of a Blue Goose in my upcoming article about Snow Geese. Please let me know if you have one that I could use in the on-line Shoreline Area News; whoever takes the picture will of course be given credit.

Thanking you in advance,

There was a large flock of Snow Geese (maybe 1,000) right next to the access road; with them was a Blue Goose quite close to the road providing marvelous photo-ops. I'm wondering if it's the same Blue Goose that was here last year; it was noticeably smaller than the Snow Geese.
