Graylag goose (domestic type) - Watson Lake Park - Prescott This is a Graylag goose (domestic type) at Watson Lake Park north of Prescott. I had to triple check my identification of this goose. This is in the lower lake area. Very nice facilities. <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Graylag_Goose/overview" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Graylag_Goose/overview</a> Graylag Geese are one of the most common and conspicuous species of geese across much of Europe. Wild Graylag Geese are very rare in North America, but domestic geese (which are descended from Graylag) are common sights in farms and parks. In the wild, these big, loud, orange-billed geese nest in wetlands and lakes. They graze for food in grasslands and agricultural areas and form large flocks outside of the breeding season. Wild Graylag Geese are very rare in North America, but you're likely to see domestic geese descended from Graylags in parks and farms. They can vary considerably in appearance, and if you report them to eBird, record them as "Graylag Goose (Domestic Type)." <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Lake_" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Lake_</a>(Arizona) "Watson Lake is one of two reservoirs at the Granite Dells, in Prescott, Arizona, that was formed in the early 1900s when the Chino Valley Irrigation District built a dam on Granite Creek.

Roadrunner - Watson Lake Park - Prescott I was hoping to see a roadrunner. Instead I think I found a trail walker [rimshot]. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner</a> The roadrunners (genus Geococcyx), also known as chaparral birds or chaparral cocks, are two species of fast-running ground cuckoos with long tails and crests.

It looks like an interesting place. This looked like a great addition the Happy Bench Monday Group. HBM! <a href="https://highlandscenter.org/about-us/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">highlandscenter.org/about-us/</a> "The Highlands Center for Natural History is a regional hub for lifelong learning through outdoor education.
