Canada goose

Branta canadensis

Description:

The black head and neck with white "chinstrap" distinguish the Canada Goose from all other goose species, with the exception of the Barnacle Goose, but the latter has a black breast, and also grey, rather than brownish, body plumage.

Habitat:

Common all over North America but can also be seen here in Europe as migrants.

It was a just too cute to be missed couple of male and female geese in the park next to where I work :-)
