In North America, the Greater White-fronted Goose breeds across a broad range of the arctic and is an uncommon visitor to Ontario. We spotted this individual in a group of Canada Geese. A first time sighting for me, very exciting 😊. More photos to come.

Nice. They pass through the Siouxland area during migration and have seen them on occasion. They seem to hang out with Snow Geese a lot of times.

We have a different Goose here in Texas, America and I love to see a large group hanging out and eating. I’ve only seen a large group by mmy doctors office.

An exciting sighting, indeed! I wonder if the wildfires altered its route south?

It was! They tend to migrate to the western grain growing provinces in the fall with the harvest. They show up here occasionally though.
