Hello, I'm --Salty Dawg t/c 20:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC), a seagoing captain of the S.S. Wiki. See you on the poop-deck.
The
greater white-fronted goose (
Anser albifrons) is a species of goose in the family
Anatidae. It is closely related to the
lesser white-fronted goose, which is smaller. The greater white-fronted goose is
migratory, breeding in northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Russia, and winters farther south in North America, Europe and Asia. The greater white-fronted goose has a length of 64 to 81 cm (25 to 32 in), a wingspan of 130 to 165 cm (51 to 65 in), and a mass of 1.93 to 3.31 kg (4 lb 4 oz to 7 lb 5 oz). Males are typically larger in size, and both sexes are similar in appearance – greyish brown with light grey breasts dappled with dark brown to black blotches and bars. Both males and females also have a pinkish bill, and orange legs and feet. This greater white-fronted goose was photographed in flight in the
Central Valley of the US state of California.
