Has anyone seen a report for a snow goose in or around Manchester NH in the past few days?
Yesterday morning 10:15 am., Monday April 21st, I was driving across the Bridge St bridge in Manchester NH, as 4 geese approached flying south over the Merrimack River. At a distance they appeared to be 4 similar sized Canadian Geese, then as I was mid-way over the bridge the 4 geese crossed above me. 3 were Canadian geese, and 1 was a white goose with black tipped wings on the underside. We often see snow geese each year when we visit California wildlife refuges in February and March. My first impression was of a Snow Goose, but I am puzzled as to its traveling partners, and how late in the season a snow goose would still be coming through NH. Any thoughts?
