Bob and June:

Looks like Mr. Ringler is right on the money, as 
usual (even for a guy who still calls American 
Wigeon "Baldpate," same as I do!)

There's a real good web site showing pictures of hybrid geese.  Go to:

http://www.gobirding.eu/Photos/HybridGeese.php#CanadaxGreylag

This is a U.K. site, so the emphasis is on waterfowl found in Europe.

The photos of Canada Goose/Greylag hybrids on 
this site are dead ringers (ringlers?) for the ones June took at Centennial.
