A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
That's my aunt's hand, actually, but it also landed on my knee. :)
Awww, that tiny little beak!
Where was this? I live in Alabama and I've seen a couple. Gorgeous photo. :)
We have these in Mobile, Al. I love seeing them. :)
OH MY GOD DUCKLINGS. I WANT THEM. (...sorry. Reflexive reaction to a bunch of ducklings huddling together.)
So gorgeous against the white snow!
@ 1Sarah2: I can't decide if you're right or not. One of the key differences appears to be neck length, but I can't tell because it's got its neck all curled up. I wish I could see the tail markings, that would be another way. According to the range chart, cackling geese don't come to Alabama, but then again, those things are never 100% accurate. Cackling geese are a subspecies of canada anyway, so we're probably both at least half right. :)
