"Blue Geese" are not nearly as common as the traditionally white Snow Geese. While I doubt these are seasonal morphs, these birds are fairly common in a flock of 50,000 birds. There might be a couple dozen in a group that large. I approach making their image the same as the totally white versions. I may consider reducing the exposure compensation of the white birds to lighten the image a bit. Still, I don't automatically use this approach because I still have to worry about the bird's white head.
