There is a flock of about a dozen Canadian Geese that visit a golf course next to our home. This one seems to hang out with the flock but not associates with any of them (they are roughly paired up). Is this a Canadian with an unusual pattern or is it a different type?

Looks like its parents engaged in a little miscegenation. (BTW, it's a "Canada Goose," not Canadian. There are far more of them in the USA than in Canada.)

Thank you for your answer and the link. The goose walking around on our golf course could have been the model in the picture in your article. Wait until I tell our friends we know a "famous" goose LOL. ( We may have been cooped up to long)

You are correct. You would think that as someone who grew up in northern Michigan i would know better. Must be that I haved lived in Indiana too long LOL. My apologies to our northern friends.

Poor thing. I hope it's not ostracized by the other geese.

I was thinking of SNOT. I have often heard the expression, slicker than S--t. Both pretty close probably.

I think the phrase, cooped up too long, fits in perfectly.
