Ross's Goose --- Green Pond, Northampton County; April 10, 2005. Photo by Dave DeReamus.
Note the stubby, triangular bill and smaller overall size compared to the Snow Goose on the left. This bird was found by Billy Weber on April 8th and stayed until at least April 14th, the latest Spring date for a Ross's Goose in Pennsylvania. It stayed with about a hundred Snow Geese, a fairly large number for this late in the season.
