A request from the Records Committee:

There is no doubt as to the species here, however, we would appreciate 
input from those of you documenting this species as to whether or not the 
bird is of wild origin.  This is certainly not easy to evaluate, but for 
those of you looking for the goose, we would appreciate any data you can 
glean on feather condition, bill/foot condition, whether or not the bird is 
banded (USFWS or otherwise), behavioral interactions with other species, 
etc.  I believe there is a record of a bird banded in Scotland that was 
recovered in Ontario, so there is some precedence for true vagrancy in this 
species.  I would also encourage everyone who sees this bird to write it 
up.  http://www.vinsweb.org/vbrc/vbrcdocu.htm
