This evening just at dusk I stopped at Matthews Beach (off Sand Point Way
in NE Seattle).
found at least 2 male & 1 female Eurasian Wigeon in with a flock of
American Wigeon.
also found a lone small white goose, about the size of a Snow Goose or
slightly smaller; orange stocky legs and feet; but a yellow bill; black
showing in the primaries but spotty, not one clean patch; and several black
patches on the head, including one on the back of the head. otherwise the
head was clean white. Will send iPhone pictures of goose on request.
Interested on thoughts on possible ID (it's a hybrid something, I believe)
