Ross Goose Photo[edit]

Current picture (Anser rossii -California, USA-8a.jpg) is of a juvenile Ross goose (note: the grey feathers near its eye and at the back of its neck, as well as lack of caruncles at the base of its bill). I've changed the caption of the picture to reflect this, but at some point a picture of an adult would be needed for this article. Luzingit (talk) 20:48, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article Evaluation[edit]

This page should be expanded to include information on habitat, behavior, diet and feeding, relationship with humans, etc. Reference 2 to "Queen Maud Gulf" is a dead link. Rds.csus (talk) 00:11, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Currently working on filling out each section and adding better photos for ID Rds.csus (talk) 17:13, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your article is neatly organized and contains all the basic specifications for someone who has not yet learned about this bird species. Behavior section is straight to the point and gets the information across about how these birds interact with their environment. I enjoyed reading this article because it contained all the information needed to understand this species, and the condensed format is easy for the reader to read all the way through. Overall, really great article, did not see any grammatical errors throughout the reading. Great Job! --Miegodorales (talk) 00:57, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
