Spotted head goose

[Elk Turd]

Can anyone help me out on this? I shot a goose sunday and it had a black and white spotted head and neck. No it wasn't a whooping crane!!!! It is a Canadian goose and was flying with a group of others. I wish the digital camera worked!

Has anyone ever heard or seen this?????

I think I will get it mounted it is so cool!!!

Hard to say without seeing it. It may be a hybrid Canada/Snow cross. These occur occasionally. Or it might just be aberrant colored Canada.

Colorado Oak - Thanks for the reply!

Just chatted with Fish and Game and they said it was just a "unique" Canadian goose. I will have to get the pictures developed and post them.

I am going to get it mounted, it is cool!

That is really cool. BTW is that considered a non-typical

 

[Elk Turd]

A Non-Typical????

I figure I can't find a Bull Elk so I will settle for a Non-Typical goose!!!

Well, my birdy friend said that it is most likely just a case of leucism, which is the same thing that causes piebald deer. It's just a lack of pigment in certain areas.

Cool anyway! I'd have it mounted, too!

Colorado Oak - Tell your birdy friend thanks for the info. Is this the Micheal Jackson of Geese? (Pigmentally challanged?)


The bad thing about getting it mounted is now my wife wants the bathroom redone!! I think I will have to start saving reciepts!

Thanks CO for the info...
