[mou] Silver Lake - Rochester

[Carl Greiner]

On Monday Gayle reported a light colored Canada Goose near Plymouth "When I
looked closer one goose had the normal ringed neck but from the chest down
was ivory with caramel wings.  (It looked almost like a swans coloring).". I
observed a very similar plumage in a bird on Rochester's Silver Lake. In
addition I saw a Cormorant, a couple Hooded Mergs, Common Mergs, Scaup,
Mallards, and Coots. 

 

Today on Silver Lake I couldn't find the atypical goose but there were a lot
of Northern Shoveler's, Coots, Common and Hooded Mergansers, about 10
Bufflehead, about 10 DC Cormorants, Woodies, and of course the resident
Mallards and Canada Geese. There is even a sharp drake wood duck hanging out
in the parking lot where the geese beg so photographers may walk up to full
frame with a 50mm lens.
