One more...I'm so used by now to seeing Canada Geese, that coming across this goose
(exploring the water's shore right alongside heron and cormorant) caught me off guard.
Also, is this a domestic or wild goose? (taken in East Providence, RI; August 24)

Thanks, Joe

Get my lifelist to 300 (currently 293)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 193 as of 5/12.

Not sure if I can call the breed from this distance. I can't make out any details. I do agree with domestic goose, though.
