Orinoco geese        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Orinoco geese are attractive Neotropical geese that (as is often the case) are suffering from overhunting in many parts of their range.   Their presence on a river or lake indicates a wild, undisturbed region.   This family -- parent and mostly-grown young -- was photographed on the Manu River in southeastern Peru.
