White-fronted Goose Hains Point, Washington DC, 7 January 2001. The first to pose for photos in the District of Columbia. Thanks to Craig Tumer for discovering this bird. The bill was pinkish-yellow, yellower at the tip, depending somewhat on lighting, and very hard to capture accurately with a camera. I don't believe this was a Greenland White-front. Video grabs at 300x and 20x by Dave Czaplak
