Description
The body of the Snow Goose is round and their feathers are very well defined. The neck is long and the head is very small. They have a bill that is short and pointed at the end with a triangle design. They have short legs and webbed feet. They have dark brown colors under their wings that you won’t see when they are standing still. When they are in flight though you can see them.
his bird is found in many regions around North America. They are found all over the USA, Canada, Mexico, Greenland and British Columbia. Those that live in cold areas including Siberia take part in the ritual of annually migrating to a warmer climate. During the winter many of the Snow Goose population end up in Central America.
During the migration period the Snow Goose females will often return to the location where they were born to mate. This can result in them as well as their mate making very long journeys annually to get there and back. They fly in a V formation to help reduce wind drag or collisions.

Fantastic capture, Elizabeth ! I love migrations, and in France i can see grey gooses and cranes when they go away or come back. Great moments of emotion.
