Greater White-fronted Goose - Sunset Beach Park, BC
A lone Greater White-fronted Goose was trimming the lawn at Sunset Beach in downtown Vancouver. We have a pretty good population of Canadian Geese here for the winter but the last two years we have seen a lone "speckle-belly" stay for the winter and make him self at home with his larger cousin. If you care to know a bit of latin, the species name of this bird is Anser albifrons, which translates to Goose whiteforhead.
