Nice find! Every paper source I've looked at states that the blue morph is
rare, not just in the northwest, but in west coast popluations overall. I
wonder if anyone knows of a more definite source on their abundance in our
region... Ebird doesn't appear to have an option to list the blue morph
separately.
Though I haven't paid too much attention to Snow Goose reports, there are 3
records I am aware of from the past few weeks... The one you saw, one I saw
a couple days ago, and one seen on the outer coast a couple weeks back.
Stunning birds for sure!
