Driving by the golf course saw there was white birds mixed in with all the Canada Geese. Pulled over, but couldn't quite get a good photo of them. Came back later, asked the Pro Shop guy if I could go out there and he gave me the key to a cart (!). So, I got some nice close up shots of snow geese.

A group of five Snow Geese on a dull brown golf course. Two of the birds are solid white, with orange bills and black eyes. Their heads are raised to watch the activity around them. Two of the birds are a marbled brown and white as they morph into their adult colors, one watching the background, the other with its head lowered to graze. The final bird is a dark brown with a white face and orange bill, grazing on the grass. All show the tell tale dark mark on the side of the bill that resembles a curled lip.

Three Snow Geese graze on the short dull green grass of the golf course. Two in the background are solid white with a black tipped wing sticking out near their tail. The third is centered in the image, its body dark brown and its face white with a brown stripe over its head. The dark mark on the side of the orange bill that resembles a curled lip is visible on the closest goose.

A group of 11 snow geese and one Canada goose walk across the short dull green grass of the golf course. Most of the birds are solid white with short orange bills, with two having a molting brown and white body as they grow into their adult color. The Canada goose stands out with its black neck and head with a white cheek mark and a brown body. Two of the white geese have smaller bodies and bills than the others.

A group of 9 snow geese and 9 Canada geese move across the short dull green grass of a golf course, some walking with their heads up, others grazing as they move. The snow geese are all solid white, with one (one is molting from a juvenile to adult colors) while the Canada geese are dark brown with black necks and heads that have a white cheek mark going under their chin. Two of the snow geese are looking back towards the camera.

Foraging break. Late winter in our neck of the woods means it’s Snow Geese time.

Approximately a zillion #CacklingGeese coming in to land at the Tualatin River #NationalWildlifeRefuge this afternoon. Sound on for the full effect! Other birds today included a #NorthernHarrier lass cruising past at eye level, a distant flock of #WesternMeadowlark flushing up from the field, groups of #TundraSwan and #SnowGoose, faraway #GreaterYellowlegs and #Killdeer, a #GoldenCrownedKinglet practically in my pocket, and a white-belly second year #BaldEagle piccoloing overhead.

At some point a coyote or something passed by and 99.9% of the geese said "OH SHIT!" at the same time. Except... if you look right down the bottom of the picture, there's that one goose that's just not reacting. Did it miss the alert? Does it know something we don't? I have questions about that goose.

Lots of snow geese flapping around in a commotion above a field of dry yellow corn stalks. But one goose is still on the ground, only its head visible. It appears to be waiting. What is it waiting for? We can't tell.

Snow Geese Grazing
Bosque del Apache NWR, NM

A short video from the north end of the pool of yesterday's photo. Here the geese were close to the road and not at all concerned with the cars and photographers stopped to observe.

A Sandhill Crane can be seen walking behind the geese and the tiny dark speck to the left of the crane is a coyote. A few geese are circling overhead.

[This is my 1st time to post a video, so let me know of any issues.]

Snow Geese
Bosque del Apache NWR, NM

Spent most of yesterday down at the refuge and saw many hundreds of these geese (if not thousands.) Photo from 2020.

Absolutely a gorgeous winter's day in central NM. Not a cloud in the sky; no wind. Beautiful views of birds, pools, fields, and surrounding low mountains. Shirtsleeve temperatures by early afternoon.

Haven't looked at my photos, yet, but suspect I have some nice ones to share in the coming days.

Morning at the Crane Pools
Bosque del Apache NWR, NM

Over two dozen Sandhill Cranes are standing in the icy pool—they spend the night there as protection against predators, such as coyote. Around them are many, many Snow Geese who also spent the night here. Very soon all will take to the sky to head off to forage in the neighboring fields.

#WildlifeWednesday #WildBirds #photo #SandhillCrane #SnowGoose #WildlifeRefuge #NewMexico

Muted morning light shines on a large number of birds: over two dozen grey cranes and many, many more snow geese; all are standing or sitting in a shallow pond; russet grasses in the background.

A large flock of geese in flight in a gray sky. They are mostly Cackling Geese, with some Snow Geese and one or two Ross’s Geese mixed in.

An immature Snow Goose (greyish plumage, grey bill & legs) and adult (sharp white+black plumage, pink bill & legs) at Iona Beach Regional Park. There were a few dozen hanging out together here, and a few hundred honking away on the opposite shore, too far for good shots

Dozens of #SandhillCrane flying into a marsh filled with more Sandhill cranes. From #SauvieIsland, just north of Portland where the #WillametteRiver flows into the #ColumbiaRiver. We were fortunate to be there between rain showers. We also had excellent views of #BaldEagle, #HarrierHawk, #Kestrel, #SnowGoose, #Shoveler, #Widgeon, #CanvasBack, #Coot, #Swan, #Egret, and #GreatBlueHeron.

We went to see the winter birds in #SauvieIsland, most especially the #SandhillCranes. They are the largest species of crane in North America and their distinctive call is haunting. We also saw #BaldEagle, #HarrierHawk, #Kestrel, #SnowGoose, #CanadaGoose, #Coot, #ScrubJay, #RedwingBlackbird, #WesternMeadowlark, and a few others. What a gorgeous day!
