While I’ve been thrilled each time I’ve seen a Snow Goose over the past three years (they’re rare birds in southeast Michigan, often seen as they migrate south), this weekend was the first time I’ve seen one that wasn’t several hundred feet away!
Feeding with a flock of Canada Geese, the gorgeous white Snow Goose with black-tipped wings was spotted by birders this weekend on Belle Isle State Park in Detroit, Michigan.
I found it today on Belle Isle, as it calmly ate its way across the grass and flooded areas with about 100 Canada Geese.
Isn’t it a striking bird with that pink bill and legs?
