    Lonely Snow Goose

    Hello! This bird has been hanging around our place for a few days now, just it, no company. I’m guessing it’s a Snow Goose but I’m not sure (Interior British Columbia, Canada for reference).

    We get Snow Geese passing thru this area on migration in both the spring and the fall. sometimes we see numbers in the thousands but I haven't see those numbers this year. It has been more like a trickle this year. I did find 6 Snow Geese yesterday on my way up to look for Short-eared Owls.
