Hi all,

Let me preface this by saying I traveled from Denver to JeffCo for a medical appointment this morning, so I hope I was not violating the stay-at-home rules by birding a bit in JeffCo afterwards!

I saw what I thought was a greater white front goose (photo attached) at Belmar Park. It called a few times (in fact that was what got my attention originally), and the call was high and squealy, consistent with GWFG. But perhaps it's some kind of hybrid, or just a domestic? I'm happy to update my list depending on what others think. Any thoughts appreciated!

Checklist is here.

There has been a Greylag Goose or Greylag hybrid there for many years that has deceived many of us.

Great thanks...I'm sure the Graylag Hybrid what actually I saw. I've updated my list to reflect that.
