Subject: [Tweeters] Snow Goose ID help wanted

In December I briefly saw a Snow Goose on Buchanan Lake in Yakima. I
digiscoped 8 images before it flew. I've posted them in my "Identification
help wanted" gallery at

http://kevinslucas.com/?q=category/image-galleries/identification-help-wanted

Clicking on the outline arrow at the bottom right of each photo displays a
larger photo.

I've no experience distinguishing between Greater and Lesser Snow Goose,
nor between Snow Goose and Ross's Goose. Looking at my photos in December,
using the big Sibley guide, I labeled it as a Lesser Snow Goose. That was
based somewhat on the bill shape and size, but mostly on the dingy
appearance in the photos - exaggerated by low light digiscoping.

I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Off list is fine.

Thanks,
Kevin Lucas
