[Birdnet] Odd Goose at Sugarhouse Park

[tanager at timaverybirding.com]

That's a big honker.  I'm gonna go with Canada x Grayleg hybrid on this.  It looks fairly pot bellied and those are some big legs.  This bird is also huge in comparison to the lesser Canada's its flocking with. 

Good Birding

Not quite sure what to make of a goose I saw at Sugarhouse Park today. He/she was hanging out with the Canada Geese. At first glance I though it might be at partial-albino Canada. After he got out of the pond, I saw his orange feet, indicative of a Greater White-Fronted Goose. Perhaps it is a hybrid of the two species. Any comments of the i.d. are appreciated. Photos of the bird can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chickadeetrails/3067342160/ <http://www.flickr.com/photos/chickadeetrails/3067342160/>
