Canada Goose |
My birdwatching activity has slowed down now that migration is almost complete, but I decided to head for the pond near my work early this morning to see if I would luck out one more time this year. And well I did. There was one lone Canada Goose on the pond and a couple of Mallard Ducks. This Goose appeared somehow different from the others that I'm used to seeing so I made a point to take more than just a couple of pictures.
I didn't have time to really think about it before work, but when I finally got home and loaded the pictures into the computer I noticed that this particular Goose has a prominent write stripe around the base of it's long neck.

So I decided to do some quick checking on the internet only to learn that there several different species of Canada Goose. I don't know about you, but up to this point I always assumed that all Canada Geese were created equal. I will have to have a second, closer look at my photos of the species to see if I can spot any other differences and do some more research. I will let you know what I discover soon. In the meantime, if you have any information to share about Canada Geese please leave me a comment.
