This Snow Goose was over 2 months out of season, but was reported at this location for several days to a few weeks.

Not sure of the grass species, but pretty sure that's cattail in the background.

Description

Strange duck at the Champlain Bridge. Its overall look and size suggested a female Common Goldeneye, but the details were wrong. The light breast, gray bill with black nail at the tip and dark eye all may have suggested female Bufflehead. It is possible this is a hybrid of those two species.
