Canadian Geese

Branta canadensis

Description:

Beautiful Canadian Geese - the last shot with the babies was shot at the Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab, Utah and the other shots were from Gold Bar, Washington. The ones in Utah with the babies would not let us get close. The ones in Washington kept coming to us.

Notes:

Lots of good information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cackling_Go...

I hadn't realized there was a sub species of canadian goose, much less like 200 of them. Wow. Very interesting information Liam. I'm including the link in with the posting.

First two photos show Cackling Geese (Branta hutchinsii) I think.
