Mystery Goose

Yesterday, we went for a brief walk in the park--a walk that turned out much briefer than we planned, due to the gust front blowing in and chilling the place down with icy winds and lowering dark gray clouds. After feeding the usual suspects, we saw an unusual goose along the shore of the swamp pond. It was much too trim and shy to be one of the big domestic geese; I suspected it to be a wild visitor, like the Canadas that drop by.
