Blue Morph Snow Goose, Sarasota - December 29, 2015

It is rare enough to have seen a (juvenile) snow goose in Florida these past few weeks in New Port Richey.  Today I went to find the "blue morph" variety of snow goose down in Sarasota, an even rarer bird for Florida.  It was right off of Fruitville road, near the celery fields.  There were many other species in the same little pond included spoonbill (one was banded), killdeer, northern harrier, glossy ibis, pie-billed grebe, and more.
