Bird ID?

Post by cjrodarme » Sun Mar 20, 2016 3:02 pm

I was out bass fishing on Lake Meridian and this bird (the one in the back) caught my eye. Never seen one like it before. Strange colors, orange feet, and a strange kind of bill. It was attacking the other birds it was around. Anyone seen one of these, and does anyone know what they are called?

Looks like a domestic goose to me.

Or a mix of domestic + wild goose.

I'd guess a mix because it was around a bunch of Canada goose. Stuff you will only see on Lake Meridian LOL.

I believe this is a African dewlap.
It is a domestic bird and makes a great alarm system.

Hmm... must be lost. I know the homeowners and they don't have a bird. I'm thinking it must be a hybrid, or a runaway bird.

Not sure about mix.... Looks like a garden variety goose you'd see running around any farm to me.

That there is your basic Orange Footed Oddbill Attack bird. (And he was never wrong)
