Hybridization of Canada geese with blue geese in the wild

While carrying out hunter bag checks in the vicinity of Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Columbia, South Dakota, during the 1950 waterfowl hunting season, the author examined two adult male geese which proved to be crosses between one of the smaller Canada Geese (possibly Richardson's Goose, Branta canadensis hutchinsi) and the Blue Goose, Chen caerulescens.
