Yesterday (9/22), about 5:45 pm, there was an odd looking goose swimming 
with normal looking Canadians out near dam area of Little Seneca Lake. 
The bird had a mostly white head and dark bill w/ a white neck speckled 
with black.  The bird (about same size as smaller Canada Geese near it) 
had 2 white patches, one at rump and other starting just forward of 
legs.  Its back was colored like a Canadian but it had pinkish legs and 
feet.  It looked part Canadian/part Snow Goose but plumage colors near 
base of neck appear nonsymmetrical maybe suggesting a 
Canadian/domesticated species hybrid.

Other waterbirds were scare. A few Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal and 
a Spotted Sandpiper.
