between the blue juvenile phase and the mature white phase

Eagle head is the final stage for a blue morph snow goose. They don’t turn all white

thx bro, yep thats what we call em too

I had always heard its almost like a molt, but been reading where its a gene and blues stay blue, white stay white save for juveniles of both which are brownish with brown bill

in between a true blue and a white are different variations of "intermediate"

Have never heard this before until now, figured some ol goose slaya's will learn me right
