Branta bernicla
Medium sized goose. Black head and neck with a white "collar" under head. Dark back with a light gray belly. White under tail. Looks somewhat similar to the Canada Goose but smaller and with no white cheek patch.
Gardiner County Park, New York. Great South Bay near the shore.
Large groups of these birds were swimming around. I counted over 50 in various flocks.
