Geese in Catlettsburg

There wasn't a whole lot of traffic on the Ohio River yesterday when I was out there looking for it, but I did find something else. Along the river in Catlettsburg, Ky., there's a new sign advising people of a goose crossing. A few minutes after I saw the sign, I saw two geese come up from the river's edge. I'm no goose-ologist, but one of them looked like a swan goose like we have at the riverfront park in Huntington. Here it is swimming by some empty Crounse barges tied up at Catlettsburg.

The other goose was almost all white, but it had the same patterns on its wings. It did not, though, have the bump over the bill that this one has.
