Anser caerulescens
Snow Geese are beautiful white birds with black wingtips. They migrate long distances in large groups called flocks, making loud honking sounds as they fly.
Habitat: Coastal areas
The Snow Goose is predominantly white, with black primary wing feathers visible in flight. It has a pink bill with a black 'grinning patch' along the tomia. There is also a 'blue morph' variant with a dark body and white head, making it visually distinct from its white relatives.
