As is my usual custom, I took the scenic route on the way to 
doing my shopping by way of Astoria Airport Rd.  I saw an
obvious SNOW GOOSE and an additional white blob, so I turned 
around to scope it.  The second blob was a CATTLE EGRET.  

While setting up my scope for some photos, I noticed a funny
looking goose in between the GREATER WHITE-FRONTED and CANADA-FORMS.

Juvenile EMPEROR GOOSE.

Both geese were still there at noon.  The Cattle Egret had moved
elsewhere (probably in search of cattle).
