November 2015 – Hyde Park, London

These birds were introduced to the UK a long time ago. They look a bit mutty to me, but I suppose the look is unique at least.

Egyptian Goose

November 2015 – Hyde Park, London

A number of these were congregating near the ponds in Hyde Park.

Graylag Goose

May 2015 – Fernhill Wetlands, Forest Grove, Oregon

Not the prettiest Snow Goose, but there it was… a solo representative wandering amongst other species of geese.

Snow Goose

May 2015 – Fernhill Wetlands, Forest Grove, Oregon

A few of these were hanging out at Fernhill.

Greater White-fronted Goose

Cackling Goose

July 2013 – Fernhill Wetlands, Oregon

These are often mistaken for the closely related Canada Goose (which in-turn are often mistakenly called Canadian Geese). They’re shorter and stockier than the Canada, but often will mix together with their larger brethern.

Canada Goose

May 2012 – Eugene, Oregon

Our most common goose… Not much to say about this bird, or this photo, but notice the pair of wood ducks in the background – kind of a neat “photo bomb”, eh?
