tommy and i went for bagels and coffee this morning, then took a walk down to the lake. messing around down there, we saw these:
tommy swore up and down that white creature is a GOOSE. i say he is clinically insane and it is obviously a duck. which one of us is right?

It's a duck, I'm pretty sure. Geese have longer necks.
You have to be kidding, it's a duck.
I KNOW! i can't even believe the thought that it was possibly a goose crossed tommy's mind. it makes me look at him in a whole new light.
Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom...
How can someone so wise in so many ways fail so dramatically in Taxonomy 101? That's a duck, dude.
Also, Beth (too overburdened by the rigors of, um, watching figure skating) inquires: how come YOU didn't invent the million dollar home page? Come on! That was soooooo easy.
Lame, Tom.
Lame.
Duck.

That's definitely a duck. Sheesh.
What!? You're all crazy. Ducks are brown, or green, or something. That bird is clearly a goose.
Or maybe a swan.
Admit it, tom: you've never seen a goose.
I'm going to go with >>>>>>>>>>> on this one.
I think it's obvious that that's a finch.
I understand and endorse the position that holds that geese are just big ducks, and so that would be a duck even if it were a goose. But, given that it is a duck, there's no way to get to the position that it's a goose.
As for "ducks are brown, or green, or something," refutation.
alright, alright, let's compromise: it's a pygmy goose.
Oh, yeah, an albino African Pygmy Goose maybe... But then of course African Pygmy Geese are non-migratory.
