The Snow Goose or also known as the Blue Goose have
arrived back in Alaska.
These geese are now some of the most abundant waterfowl on the
continent. I think they are absolutely stunning!!!
They nest in colonies and the females return to where they were born to breed.
These geese mate for life and lay 3 to 5 eggs.
So good to see them back!!!
I saw a V of them fly over me (I thought they were swans - but in hindsight I think they were snow geese). I was driving and I almost wrecked. They are SO amazing! I can't believe you can get a picture so close to one! Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteThese geese were extremely distracted by food. They had found a little open patch of water out by Potter's Marsh...I kept inching closer and closer while they had their heads underwater. I have been trying to get some photos of them for over a year. I was so excited, I think I took around 200 photos of them.....so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Amanda!!!
What a beautiful bird!
