Weekend visitor

We were hugely excited when we found a Flicker at the feeder earlier today. Then, we noticed this guy across the street. He seemed fine, flying off a few moments after I took this picture (from a good distance away).

    I think this is a Greater White-fronted Goose. I’ve never seen one of these before (or at least never ID’d one). Life-lister!

    What was the girls’ reaction when they saw this “Gossie” from the window? Were they wondering if she was “heartbroken” that she couldn’t find her bright, red boots? I’m pretty sure I can now recite that book from memory!
