Another leucistic bird (or possibly a hybrid instead)
to add to the list... I birded areas of Black Hill
Regional Park yesterday, 2/23, and found a leucistic
Canada Goose (the face was almost entirely white; the
front and sides of the neck were streaked with a lot
of white, and there was a bit of extra white on the
breast/sides compared to a normal Canada).
