Participant Photo: Snow and hybrid snow goose in DC- rare.

Snow goose among the ducks at Constitution Gardens on the National Mall in Washington DC. The snow goose is not common here, and note that it is accompanied by a hybrid goose that is likely either snow x Canada, or snow x Ross’s. The two stayed together and are likely paired, as they were only geese in area. Surrounded by mallards, ring-necked ducks and lesser scaups.
