They are found throughout Europe and I believe part of Asia too. In North America the range is distributed throughout the continent, rather randomly.

Yes, a very migratory bird! They are quite nomadic.

Nope, not a hybrid, but a pure blood Greater White-fronted Goose. They're not so common here, but I was lucky enough to have a flock of 96+ birds flying over my yard!

This looks like a hybrid goose I saw on here the other day. He was crossed between a domestic gray & a canada...but I cannot remember the name of him :(
