Snow Goose - Parksville Beach, BC
Some smaller white geese on the lawn at Parksville Beach just didn't fit in with the large flock of Canadian geese. These were an addition to our Nanaimo lists on a recent trip to the island. Most of our geese that run down our coast to wintering grounds are summer residents of Alaska or Russia on the Tundra near the water. They will head north to nest but may find snow on the ground when they get there an if it is still there in late June, they will not nest and will head south, waiting for another season to breed.
