However, this smaller goose could have been a female with larger males, an individual of the Lesser race with Greater Snow Geese, or a Ross' X Snow hybrid. Overall size alone is never enough to identify a Ross'; the diagnostic features involve the bill size, shape and color. | Not Accepted | |||||

This goose was only seen in flight in the company of Canada Geese, and was identified on the basis of its "short" neck , "tiny" bill, "small and round" head , and because "the call did not sound like a Snow." However, since there were no Snow Geese present for direct comparison, the majority felt that the observer's impressions of the bill , head, neck and call were too subjective to be useful , and that a more careful look (not possible with a goose flying by) is necessary before positively identifying a Ross'. 155 | Not Accepted | ||||

The description only includes mention that it was a dark goose, with a white face patch and white under the tail, in the wings and on the lower breast, and that it had an orange bill. However, there is no indication why this was not a blue-morph or intermediatemorph Snow Goose, a Greater Whitefronted Goose, or some sort of exotic waterfowl. In addition, an orange bill is inconsistent with a Ross's Goose. | Not Accepted | ||||
