Today I saw a flock of Canadian Geese grazing along the roadside and in among them was one goose that was all white, with the excact same body shape as the other Canadians. Are there white/or albino Canadian Geese? Has anyone else seen one?

I have seen many at the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge on Maryland's Easterm Shore. They are Snow Geese.

I found some photos that might help define the two birds.
My friend and I saw a flock of snow geese fly over us one fall/winter evening. It was very cool.

FWIW, they are not Canadian geese, they are CANADA geese.

One of my Mom's pet peeves....
