Lame-Duck Loc: Fresno, California

I was shooting some waterfowl shots, when this single Ross's goose came in. It's the first time I've seen this species in the spot that I was photographing. For those of you who are not familiar with the various types of the waterfowl, the Ross's goose is a smaller version of it's larger cousin, the snow goose, which is quite common. I don't often get chances to photograph this smaller white goose.

Very nice Lame-Duck! Good job with exposing the whites. They are fairly common on my part of the Pacific flyway but are still vastly outnumbered by the Snow Geese. I really enjoy your work.

Thank you Phil, I appreciate your kind words. We have them down here in the central valley of California. But like you mentioned, they are "vastly outnumbered by the Snow Geese."
