The ubiquitous Canada goose is very widespread in North America and now breeds in may suburban areas (having benefited from golf courses, city parks, and other protected areas). These birds were photographed near Churchill, Manitoba, in Palo Alto and Bolsa Chica in California, at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico and -- a strange setting for a 'marshland' bird -- the coastal rocks at Pacific Grove, California (below right). The small, delicate-looking 'cackling' goose (forth row, below), was in Mission Bay in San Diego, California. Cackling geese are now considered by some authorities to be full species. |
