There were 3 birds with a normal canada goose, which appeared to be one of the parents.
Fieldmarks not apparent from photos. Bird 1 had obviously paler greater
wingcoverts. Birds 2 and 3 had also wingcoverts paler than the wing, but not
as obviously. Feet: Bird 3 had about the same color as bird 2.
Neck from rear: Bird 1 had a clearly darker hind neck all the way from the crown to the back. Appeared also often longer-necked.
