Ross’s Goose On Water

This pint-sized relative of the Snow Goose has been surrounded by mystery and surprise. Explorers recognized it as a different bird as early as 1770, but it was not described to science until 1861; its Arctic nesting grounds were not discovered until 1938. Once thought to be very rare, or even on brink of extinction, its population has greatly increased in recent decades. Not until the late 1970s was it discovered that Ross’s, like Snow Goose, can occur in a “blue” morph. Blue Ross’s Geese are still rarely detected.

Latin: Anser rossii
