Yesterday evening I was able to find a single Ross' Goose in amongst about 3,000 or so Snow Geese at the west end of the Dead Creek Goose viewing area. When I first arrived there at 3:30 the flock was far away from the road around the pond and working some nearby taller grass. After spending an hour at the Brilyea access, I came back and they were right up close to the fence on the west end of the viewing area. 

I first picked it up the Ross' in the air noticing it's smaller size as it moved with a group from one part of the field to another and when it landed I was able to get a good look at all the field marks.
