Bird Center volunteer finds rare bird
This lone white bird was recently spotted with a flock of geese in Dexter. We contacted the Bird Division at University of Michigan Exhibit Museum to help us
identify the bird. One person had a spotting scope and attempted to read the printing on the bird's leg band. It's a Ross's Goose, which is like
a miniature version of the more abundant Snow Goose. It breeds in the arctic tundra of northern Canada. It winters primarily in central California, but is becoming
more frequent further east.
