I observed the GWFG from 7:10 to 7:30 am this morning in same location 
as reported. Bill color is orange. Thanks for reporting this bird Mike. 
A county and state bird for me.

I was shocked to find a single Greater White-fronted Goose there with about 115 Canada Geese. In addition to observing the bird's white band, size, and shape, I was fortunate to get a good look at the black barring on the belly as the bird stood on the shore briefly during the 15 minutes I was there.
