[CT Birds] rare Icelandic bird

[Hopkinsus at cs.com]

I just got back from a trip to Iceland, where we saw puffins, a king eider, 
gyrfalcons, and many other beautiful birds.  We even saw the uncommonly 
seen domestic pigeon.  But we managed to make the rare bird alert in Iceland 
for a very rare sighting which our guide asked us to photograph so the record 
could be verified and recorded.

A Canada goose!!

He couldn't understand why we were so unimpressed.  We went all the way to 
Iceland to see a Canada goose!
