Canada Geese and Snow Goose
Branta canadensis               Chen caerulescens

The mid-October arrivals perusing the pickleweed. Note the single Snow Goose to the left and the large Canada Goose just above. This large bird seems to be the dominate bird of the flock. Alert and vigilant, the rest of the group seems to follow its lead. The single Snow Goose with the flock is interesting. One wonders what turn of events has led to the presence of the Snow Goose.
