Greg Hanisek has helpfully pointed out that what I mid-identified this morning as a domestic goose at the Harbor Road Bridge in Southport is in fact a blue-morph Snow Goose. It was mixed in with a large group of Canada Geese. Seems likely the same individual photographed by Chris Hallowell at the Hunt Club this afternoon?

I'd like to note that Aidan Kiley actually flagged the "blue" Snow Goose to
me.
