If it is not an escape, I was thinking it seemed more like the Greenland
population because of the orange-bill.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Greater White-fronted Goose
Great pictures John from a lovely part of the province.
I enjoyed them.
The greater-coverts look blue-grey in the photo and the bird has a prominent
white wing-bar suggesting a European or Russian White-fronted Geese, of the
race albifrons.
Does anyone know for sure?
I'm not sure how hard it is to obtain birds of this species as eggs or
goslings but probably not difficult.
Escapes are not unknown.
Enjoy the winter storm.

Subject: [NatureNS] Greater White-fronted Goose
There is what I believe to be a juvenile Greater White-fronted Goose with 28
Canada Geese in Knoydart, Antigonish County. This is the same field in which
a Pink-footed Goose was seen on 27 December 2010. For photos follow this
