On March 3, Derek Kite reported a leucistic goose on the Lake. Today, I also saw it, but now with its mate.
Leucism describes a defect in cells where patches on the body’s surface lack pigment. The Canada Goose we each saw showed white on its crown and a portion of the neck.
Will this mating produce leucistic goslings? It is not possible to tell at this time.
This female leucistic goose seems posed to mate with a normal male.
