I positioned Steve in the vehicle so that he was able to get a series of photos of the goose. We agreed with John's view that it is an adult Pink-footed Goose with a short dark bill with a pink band across the middle. The head was contrasting dark with the lower neck and breast, and the legs were reasonably pink. Eric Mills has looked at photos and he also felt Pink-footed. I hope Ian will post them later to the RBA site. The location was as John Kearney had mentioned they were in the morning in a pasture not far off the Rd. in Knoydart just east of house (farm) 7037 in the lee of the barn. It was quite windy at the time and snowing a bit for great photography but Steve did a great job given the weather conditions. The Geese ( a couple of dozen Canadas as well) were still there in the pasture when we left about 2:45. cheers ken --Boundary_(ID_yXiBDCFoliAtsWNsI7GBFQ) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18999"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ken McKenna<BR>Box 218 Stellarton NS<BR>B0K 1S0<BR>902 752-7644</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><BR> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Rob Reid, Steve Vines and I made the short trek to Knoydart, <EM>Ant.</EM> and were able to view the Pink-footed Goose this afternoon.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I positioned Steve in the vehicle so that he was able to get a series of photos of the goose.
