Greater White-fronted Goose - Burnaby, BC

The White-fronted part of this goose's name is pretty obvious in the adult birds. (front) This goose breeds in the high Arctic in the summer and winters in in the inland valleys of the Western States and in Mexico, Texas and Louisiana. They are sometime seen in flocks of Canada Geese and are not quite as easy to see as you would think. These geese were hanging out with Canadian and Cackling Geese in the Burnaby Lake Fields just west of the lake.
