Above and below two: Further evidence that if you're not sure it's a Ross's Goose, it probably isn't. This tiny juvenile Ross's Goose was one of two found among several thousand Snow Geese in Hurlock, Maryland (11/29/2008).

Below two: Play from home! Can you find the Ross's Goose in the above photos? Hints: Think small size, short triangular bill (with no "grin patch"), short neck, and rounded head. Photographed (in very bad light) at Blackwater NWR in Dorchester Co., Maryland (1/29/2006).
