Goose
My local park is full of these but I can't determine what 'kind' of goose it is...

Google led me (eventually) to this site for White Chinese Geese. They look pretty much like your photograph.

John,
They have been so domesticated that the may be hybred from their original look, But I think they originally are native to Asia (China). Van |

John,
you should, in your area, have approx. 400 species between the hills and ocean. Let me know if you need any Identifications. Good luck. Van |

Unfortunatley, I don't. I don't paricularly hope to get print worthy shots... just shots in general :) It's just a for-fun project that will keep me outside more :)
