We recently had a somewhat rare visit of a Ross’s Goose to Sarnia. It was only the second time I have observed a Ross’s Goose in Lambton County.
The Ross’s Goose is a diminutive version of the familiar Snow Goose. The Ross’s Goose is also white with black wingtips but has a shorter neck and stubbier bill.
The Ross’s Goose has seen population explosions as climate change has warmed their arctic breeding grounds, reducing snow cover and increasing plant growth. Cornell All About Birds
