Re: [Maine-birds] Fat Goose Quizz

I believe you have yourself a Toulouse Goose.  This is a domesticated goose that was bred from European Greylag Geese.  I have seen them in Saco and OOB.  A man who owns a gravel pit off of Rt 112 has some.

We had this strange goose with some Canada's today at Phillip's Cove, and at 1:02 they flew past the Moody Marsh area.

So what do you think it is??
