[Birdtalk] Greater White Fronted Goose, Graylag, or hybrid?

[Cliff and Lisa Weisse]

I agree that it's a GWF Goose but the orange bill is consistent with the 
Greenland subspecies.  A very interesting bird.  There are also two neck 
collared Canada Geese in one of the photos.  It would be interesting to 
know where they were banded.
