Today among 1200+ Canada Geese just outside Windsor, Hants Co., there was a single adult (or very near adult) blue-

and sloping profile. My guess is that it came from one of the high Arctic populations ("Greater" Snow Goose) where the
incidence of this colour morph is very low. It appeared to me to be outside the size range of at least the average Snow
Goose from the center of the continent.
Today this flock of geese was closest to Hwy 14, the Windsor-Chester highway, just outside the Windsor town limits.
Sometimes it is visible from College Street, Windsor, by driving just past Kings-Edgehill School to the grounds of the
retirement home and looking S. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
