Canada Goose.

The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is a large wild goose with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. It is native to the arctic and temperate regions of North America, and its migration occasionally reaches across the Atlantic to northern Europe. It has been introduced to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, Japan, Chile, Argentina and the Falkland Islands. Like most geese, the Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.

Superb Canada goose capture! With ample sources of food in NY, they now stay year round and no longer migrate. Stay well!

Nice photo and I appreciate the informative description. We have lots of these geese here on Vancouver Island. They stay over the mild winters though. We think the flocks just fly around in circles in the fall and then come down in the same spot.
