Snow Goose


Snow Goose, Chen caerulescens
During the winter, Snow Geese flock together and migrate south, stopping in areas such as Hagerman Wildlife Refuge. There they find wonderful green fields of grains and grasses that are specifically tailored for these and other migrating geese near the flood plains. The Snow Goose has two color morphs: snow white and blue. They had once been separated into two different species which is why the Snow Goose is sometimes still referred to as the Blue Goose.
