I was at the Pellissippi State Campus in west Knox County around 9:30 -
10:00 a.m. this morning (Sat.). The Ross's goose was not there but I did
see the immature white morph snow goose that Dean reported as well as many
Canada geese and one mallard on the pond. Also saw the 3 muscovy ducks near
the parking lot. Will check again later for the Ross's.
