Dec 30, 2016: December 2016 Photo Collage

December 2016 photos from the blog by Wolf. Oesterreich, Kevin Kane, and Maia Hartwigsen.

Dec 29, 2016: Ross's Goose

Ross's Geese are smaller than Snow Geese and most Canada Geese.  They are also not that common at the Park.  This one was present only one day.  Note the small rounded head and a short bill that lacks the black grin patch that Snow Geese have. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 12/14/16)

As the end of the year approaches, the Reflections blog of the Friends of Ada Hayden Heritage Park celebrates its 5th Anniversary. (Kevin Kane, 12/28/11)
