I visited Franklin Park between 8-9 AM this morning, after a brief
stop at FH cemetery looking for the Snow Goose (not). Did have my 1st
Bufflehead there as well as 7 Hooded Mergansers and a Sharp-shinned
Hawk. At Scarborough Pond I failed to find the Cackling Geese or the
Shovelers but did see 2 odd geese, which I believe are Canada X
Greylag crosses. Reviewing the many goose variations, the only other
possibility I think would be Canada x Greater White-fronted which I
think very unlikely. Note the yellow legs in addition to the facial
markings in the images which can be seen at:

Bob Stymeist referred to these odd geese as being Swan Geese the other
day. Beyond that, my ignorance prevents me from further discussion.
