Snow Goose

Anser caerulescens
Size similar to Canada Goose. Grayish to white with large black ends of the wings. Commonly very vocal when flying. Male and female Snow Geese are visually very similar, but males are typically larger with a slightly more robust head shape and a longer neck. Females tend to be more timid, especially during courtship and when raising young. Both sexes have a white body with black wingtips, a pinkish-orange bill with a characteristic "grin patch," and pink legs and feet.
