Graylag (Barnyard) Goose

Anser Anser

Description:

Large white goose with a thick neck, orange bill and pink legs.

Habitat:

Lake Poway

Notes:

This is the bulkiest of the Anser geese. "This species is found throughout the Old World, apparently breeding where suitable localities are to be found in many European countries, although it no longer breeds in southwestern Europe. Eastwards it extends across Asia to China. In North America there are both feral domestic geese, which are similar to greylags, and occasional vagrants" - Wikipedia
