This thread will get lost because of the end of the WA competition, so I'll let you know that I came across these Canada geese and found among them some hybrid or domesticated goose that clearly has different coloration and markings (bottom 1/3, left 1/3 of photo). I found it odd that this goose was among his wild cousins.--Frank
Hey Doc, in my town the Canadian geese have mated with some domestic geese creating what we call " The mutants" they are a funny sort and I will get some photos for you today and post them later.
Thanks for the responses, Tzuen and Pam. Based on your comments, maybe he/she does belong. Thanks, also, Pam, for the link to the mutant. I appreciate your sharing the fact that different phenotypes and genotypes in a gaggle are not that uncommon.--Frank
