Saw this when I was out training the dogs the other day. Albino perhaps?

I doubt it's albino, it's beak and its eyes are black...

once again it has raised it,s ugly head. after conferring with a source of authority ,I have it on good aothority that it is yet another colour phase goose. some would call it a spirit goose, held sacred by some northern cultures....fowl

Spirit Malards, Spirit Canadas, what's next? I fear a Spirit Mountain Goat or Dall Ram may be in the cards, where will it all end???

As in the picture above, I took this photo last year while hunting geese in Manitoba. Are these five white ones related somehow or are they possibly Greylags?

So after some searching on google and wikipedia, I found that there are known hybrids between the canada goose and the snow goose and also between the canada goose and the barnyard goose... Perhaps this is one of those, the pictures of the hybrids are similar.
I wonder what the chicks will look like?

Either way, if it falls to me come this season, it's getting mounted
