In honor of Veteran's Day, a Greater White-fronted Goose showed up at the upriver end of Veteran's Pond. I was cruising by on my bike when I thought it strange that a female Mallard would be hanging out with a bunch of Canada Geese. When I got closer I realized it was definitely not a Mallard. This is the first time I've spotted one in "my" stretch of the Boise River and Greenbelt in years. The pond was full of Canadas today, as well as Gadwalls, C. Mergansers, C. Goldeneye, H. Mergansers and A. Wigeons. And right after seeing the GW Goose, I had a double flyover of a RT Hawk and a Belted Kingfisher. (I love Fall along the river!)
