Occurrence Remarks The documentation form by Barbara L. Wilson is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Snow Goose is larger, with a longer bill (not lavender), and head not rounded. Snow Geese have a black 'grin' on bill, which I could see in the telescope on the larger geese as I looked at Ross's. | The original documentation form event occurred around a half an hour near sunset.
