Hi all,

I went out yesterday to try and get some pictures of the Greater White-fronted Goose at Little Meadows Lake.  It was there as of about 3:15, the bill is noticeably pink suggesting the inland frontalis subspecies, I got quite a few pictures although I am not sure that my pictures do the true color justice.  David Yeany II showed up around 3:30, and got to see the bird as well. There was also a juvenile/female Surf Scoter hanging out with the coots! 

Here's a more or less complete list:

Greater White-fronted Goose  1
Canada Goose  ~90
Ring-necked Duck  5
Surf Scoter  1
Mallard  5
American Coot  9
Pied-billed Grebe  2

If you have a chance please check out the pictures of the bird at :
