It's Snowing Geese 8417
Light geese take to the air at New Mexico's Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. Light geese are a combination of the more notable Snow Goose and Ross' goose. Snow geese come in two color morphs; the traditional white snow goose, and the blue morph. The two morphs interbreed, and apparently a goose will pick a mate that is similar to the parent pair. So if a snow goose was born of a mixed morph pair then it is more likely to do the same when it picks a mate. Whether at a distance, or in close proximity, these birds put on a fantastic show when taking to the air. When they gather by the thousands and begin to fly it really can seem like it's snowing geese!
