        Hi All,
        <br/>
        <br/>
       </div> Harold Forsyth and I did some birding in Annapolis Co today and saw this lone goose swimming on the freshwater (east) side of the causeway.

      </div> 
      <span><span>It seemed healthy, was swimming in very swift water, and seemed alert while we watched. The bill didn&#39;t seem to have obvious bright colour, the breast was very light, the head, neck and back all seemed to be the same colour, we were unable to see the legs or belly.<br/><br/></span></span>
     </div> 
     <div>
      <span><span>I would assume that a domestic goose would shy away from the swift water, as many are more used to waddling around a yard, and are very rotund below. But one that has become feral may have developed better endurance on water.<br/></span></span>
