snow geese
Snow geese are medium-sized waterfowl known for their striking white plumage and black wing tips. They typically measure about 28 to 30 inches in length and have a wingspan of around 50 inches. These birds are found primarily in North America, migrating from their breeding grounds in the Arctic to wintering areas in the southern United States and Mexico.
During migration, snow geese often travel in large flocks, creating a spectacular sight in the sky. They primarily feed on grasses, grains, and other vegetation in wetlands and agricultural fields. Their population has increased significantly in recent years, leading to concerns about habitat degradation and overgrazing in some areas.
