Rachel,

I would be 99% sure that this is a Snow Goose.

In my humble opinion, the bill is not stubby enough or the head rounded enough to be a Ross Goose.

Best wishes,

Tony Futcher

Hi All,

This morning there was a white goose amongst the Canada Geese in Ironbridge Lake, Chester. It appears to be a Snow Goose, but I welcome opinions on the ID. Here's a link to a photo:
