    Default Snow Goose Canada Goose Hybrid?

    I took this pic last weekend and at first I thought I had a Dark Morph Snow Goose. However, it has since been suggested to me that it is in fact a Canada/Snow Hybrid. I would be interested to know if anyone feels strongly one way or the other i.e., Dark Morph vs. Hybrid?

    Rich:

    I am sorry I can't help with the ID, but I copied the thread to Avian ID to be sure John Chardine saw it.
    Great sense of action here with water spray, wing position, angle. In a perfect world I wish we could see more the near wing and that it wasn't framed quite so tight.

    I would say it is just a Dark Morph. I don't see why it is a hybrid? Snow Geese have a fair bit of variability in their plumage which may make someone confused when comparing this Snow Goose with another. Although I may be proved wrong!

    Nice angle. I'm seeing a fair bit of noise in the background though.
    TFS!
