Alright you goose experts....

I have some photos taken in extreme SE Anne Arundel County, near Holland
Point Park (Rose Haven area) of an interesting goose that was in a flock of
Canada Geese.  I do not know if it is a hybrid CAGO x 'something else' or if
it is a form of albanism.  It has an all white head and neck with a
pinkish-orange bill that appears to be the same shape as a CAGO and the
white saddle mark on the chin is just visible.  The eye appears to be dark.
The white neck continues down to where the brown begins on a normal CAGO,
but on this bird it is a light gray.  The rest of the body and wings are
varying shades of gray, darker where the black would be on a CAGO.  The
white rump is still there and the tail feathers are darker gray.  The legs
appears to be the same shade of pinkish-orange that the bill is.

I am willing to email the pictures to someone who could help with the ID.
Please contact me at my address below:



Also, that is rpsmit zero one , not an 'O' in the above address.

I have one photo that, though is a slightly fuzzy, is a good closeup of the
entire bird if someone  can post it for everyone to see, let me know at the
address above.
