Canada Goose with Variant Plumage

I think this Canada Goose is what is known as having variant plumage. This is where they have some white on their foreheads, white necks or all dark cheeks. This particular goose had a white ring around its one eye as well as a white patch on the forehead. What drew my attention was the cute way he was scratching his back with his head. The goose stopped scratching to look at me so I snapped a picture of him. He was not disturbed by my presence at all. I continued over to the pond and he followed along behind me. I felt sorry for this particular goose as he had a pretty good limp as well. I decided to take a few pictures of him enjoying the water.
