Looking through Cookie's recent stuff, in a light mood today, and this one just hit me right. Titled: I Know It Fell Somewhere Right Around Here. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/Critters3/Dropped_zpsxcmlpzps.jpg) Reminds me of instances where I'm changing flies midstream. Have a good one,

Caught a nice fish today, and it was this big. Ross's? Snow? I'm not good at identifying geese, or ducks, or lbb's (little brown bird, that's a technical term for you non-birders ) Great pics as always Geno

Ross's above. Shorter bill, their mouth appears to close completely and they have a warty like surface on the bill nearest the face. Below are a couple Snows (not the greatest pic), both a regular and a blue phase. Beak is more stream lined, and they look almost like they have lips because the bill does not quite close tightly mid-length. Also body size is about 1/3 rd larger than Ross's. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/BluePhs.jpg) Another couple snows ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/Snow.jpg) And a common and blue phase Ross. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/2minutes/Crittters1/BlueRoss0_zpskn2jxllc.jpg) Blue phase birds are rare here in the Pacific flyway. Like 1 in 5000 birds. Very common in the central flyway.
