***About Snow Goose

***: The Snow Goose, scientifically known as Chen caerulescens, is a North American species best known for its white plumage and black wingtips. It breeds in far northern regions like the Arctic and winters in warmer climates across the United States and Mexico. Migrating in large, noisy flocks, these geese are celebrated for their impressive V-shaped flight formations. In the spring, they return to their breeding grounds, where pairs build nests on the ground and females lay up to five eggs. Their habitat preferences include marshes, coastal shorelines, and grasslands, where they feed primarily on roots, tubers, and young shoots.
