Thanks Dan,

To notice the different things around us and today I've hit paydirt twice.

On the drive home from work, I saw a jet black colored squirrel. This is very rare around here and I had to do a triple take. The camera was right there with me but Mr. squirrel was far too quick. Then on my way in the driveway, a gaggle of Canada geese was coming in for a landing in the river across the street. Lo and behold, there was an albino Canada goose leading the flying vee.

I tried to get a picture of the beautiful critter, but he immediately climbed up on the ice and it would be like taking a picture of a snowman in a snowstorm. He/she did have 4 or 5 black flight feathers on the wingtips but it was the first "Caucasian" one I've ever seen.

I'm learning. Slowly but surely I'll be watching a bird feeder for kicks. Thanks again. Chris

White goose

Look up snow goose to see if it matches the one you saw. The black flight feathers are there.

The census at my feeder this am...

Bluejay, cardinals(mom&pop), lots of chickadees, several finches, nuthatches, small woodpeckers(mom&pop), juncos, mourning doves, redheaded woodpecker, and 3 demented, evil-genius grey squirrels who can get past any anti-squirrel device!

Albino Goose

You know, it is also highly likely that it wasn't a Canada Goose. Sometimes, geese (and other critters) just end up in totally different gaggles. If that's the case, it likely thinks it's a Canada Goose.
