While shoveling out late this morning I heard the honking of Canada Geese. I looked up to see a westward flock of ~30 birds, within which was - appropriately enough - one snow white individual. Of course I wasn't wearing my eyeglasses (just non-prescription shades) and had no bins close at hand. I found a single Snow Goose among Canadas last weekend at Heckscher SP while doing the NYSOA Waterfowl count - perhaps this might have been that bird. Anyway, whether Snow Goose or Ross's, I missed out on a yard list lifer. As if shoveling wasn't bad enough.
