| Ross's Goose | 1991 | Dec-Feb | Lancaster | First state record on 2/7-3/26/1991 at Muddy Run |
| Ross's Goose | 1993 | Jan-Mar | Berks | 1 in a flock of 580 Snow Geese at Lake Ontelaunee 3/30 (Ken Lebo). This is a 1st county record |
| Ross's Goose | 1993 | Jan-Mar | Lancaster | 1 was found at Octoraro L. on the 12/19 Solanco CBC. This is a "first" for any PA CBC and, to the best of our knowledge, the 1st Dec. record for PA This bird kept company with more than 20,000 Snow Geese. Not satisfied with just 1 Ross' Goose, Schutsky picked out 2 birds the next day. Along with the Snow Geese, they remained through the end of the quarter |
| Ross's Goose | 1993 | Jan-Mar | Lancaster | 1 near Muddy Run 1/15 (Robert Schutsky) and 1 at Middle Creek WMA 3/26 (Randy Miller) |
| Ross's Goose | 1994 | Jan-Mar | Lancaster | First discovered at Octoraro L. on the Solanco CBC 12/18 (LL). it stayed with the thousands of Snow Geese well into Jan |
| Ross's Goose | 1994 | Jan-Mar | Lancaster | 1 frequented a temporary pond just s. of Mt. Joy. It shared the pond with about 3000 Snow Geese. Jonathan Heller first found it on 3/30 and observed it at close range for about 20 minutes. He noted every pertinent detail including the bluish color on the bill. The next day, Heller and Harold Morrin relocated a Ross' Goose. This bird cooperated and was view for over 15 minutes. In every respect— plumage, size, and shape—it resembled the bird seen the previous day. However, both observers noticed a very fine black gape line on the bill. This mark could be seen only at close range. Heller raised the possibility that this bird may represent a Snow X Ross's hybrid. Any comments? |
| Ross's Goose | 1995 | Jan-Mar | Chester | 1 on 3/12 at Struble L. (no observer, no details) |
| Ross's Goose | 1995 | Jan-Mar | Berks | 1 on 3/24-28 at L. Ontelaunee (Kerry Grim, Ken Lebo, Matt Spence, Matt Wlasniewski) |

| Ross's Goose | 1995 | Jan-Mar | Lancaster | The sightings of at least one white-phase bird continued at Octoraro L. until at least 1/28 (m. obs.); One bird also turned up near Mount Joy with 8700 Snow Geese 2/28 (Jonathan Heller); On 1/31, I observed an apparent blue-phase Ross' Goose at Octoraro L. The neck was entirely dark, but the head/face was white. The size and shape of the bird, length of the neck, and size and shape of the bill seemed identical to a normal white-phase Ross'. However, I could not positively rule out the possibility of a hybrid because I wasn't close enough to eliminate the possibility of a faint grin patch. Later, others also saw a blue-phase Ross' at Octoraro L. (EBNT) |
