On my way home I stopped by NIST to see if I could find the blue Snow
Goose. I saw it on the roadside in a group of Canadas. It definitely is
a blue phase Snow Goose. (Thanks for the tip!)
As far as the rarity of finding a snow goose within a flock of Canadas,
the only information I can provide is anecdotal. Someone told me he had
seen a blue Snow Goose in a flock of Canada Geese last year. He saw it in
Montgomery Village (Gaithersburg, MD). Maybe this goose is the same one
as last year's?
