There were two hybrid geese out on the grass at Black Hill early this AM.  
Appeared to be siblings, although somewhat different color pattern.  For 
example, one had an all-black bill, the other had some pink in the black.  One of 
these was the bird in the image posted this AM by Byron.

They appear to be Canada x domestic goose, with greylag goose heritage.

I am sending one image to Fran for possible posting on the MOS site.  Anyone 
wanting to see an image with a Canada for comparative size and both hybrids, 
contact me off line.
