March 26, 2013: Greater White-fronted Geese


Greater White-fronted Geese over the south lake. 3/23/13 (Wolf. Oesterreich)

Thousands of Greater White-fronted Geese have been migrating northward. Hundreds have been stopping at the Park, mostly on the south lake and Pool F. Their vernacular name "speckle-bellies" comes from the black markings on the belly. Their laugh-like call distinguishes them from the honking Canada Geese.
