I’ve watched this Snow Goose develop its adult plumage over the fall and winter, and it seems like he decided to not migrate up to the arctic and is sticking around hopefully through the summer

Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens); Ladd Gordon Waterfowl Complex, Bernado, NM [Lou Feltz] by deserttoad At this time this site has tens of thousands of Snow Geese... it's a good year! The afternoon spectacle here includes many views of the Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes travelling between the various seed-grain fields. At dusk they will all depart, sometimes in large groups, to selected night roost areas. You can also often view close singles like this. Because the presence of Sandhill Cranes is much more reliable at this refuge, today I concentrated my photo efforts on the Snow Geese. Flight shots like this require adequate lighting and a fast shutter speed. This detailed shot is one of the better rewards of this tactic. It's an essentially uncropped image of a clearly adult bird. (This is a good site to practice your tracking skills.) IMG_4568; Snow Goose https://flic.kr/p/2myCgd4

A migrating Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens) appears to be stranded in Iowa with a damaged wing. It stays near the lake shoreline and if approached slips into the water, seemingly unable to fly.

The snow goose, consisting of both a white morph and dark morph, is a North American species of goose, collectively with Ross's goose often referred to as "white geese" or "light geese." Its name derives from the typically white plumage.
