Blue Phase Snow Goose

This Blue Phase Snow Goose presented himself up front and center strutting his handsome coloring amongst all the white. The Blue Phase continues to be a rare sighting. This early in the season there were a lot of young Snow Geese still sporting their gray coloration, but the distinctive black of this guy really stands out. Among the thousands and thousands of Snow Geese present this day, with the aid of binoculars I was able to spot a total of 5 Blue Phase. In one area there were two immatures still showing a grayish body with the undeniable markings on the white head. All in all, a most satisfying day of birding.
