Lesser Snow Geese
Part of a large flock of Lesser Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens), adults are white and young of the year are grey feeding in a stubble field south of Tofield, Alberta, Canada. The darker birds in the background are Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons), which also nest in the arctic regions of Canada.
They stop over on the prairies to build up energy reserves prior to commencing their migration to their wintering areas in the southern U.S.A.
