Is this a leucisitic Canada Goose or possible hybrid of some sort? It was taken on 6-11-10 at Hagerman NWR in North-Central Texas.

Was he an outcast, or did the others accept him? He could be Leucistic, or he could be a Chinese White Goose hybrid. He has the shape of a Canada, but not the black bill or legs.

I think your answer lies above.

Thanks for the info HKGuns.

canonloader, it was accepted by the other Canada Geese. Acted like it was one of them which I guess it was.

I've seen other leucisitic birds, but never a Canada Goose.

Can't say I have seen a Canad before, but I haven't seen a bird totally color shifted either. Nice find.

Looks like it might be a Greylag.
