Description
I encountered this young goose one morning on the Chattahoochee River near Roswell several years ago. Despite the no-feeding signs it was clear that a lot of the wildlife there was used to the presence of people in their little corner of the world.
I was able to get rather close to him which gave me a chance to frame some careful shots of him on those beautiful waters. I love how the morning light reflecting on those calm river waters almost has a watercolor quality.
I'm not 100% sure of my identification of this goose, so I welcome anyone who has more information. The photo was taken in spring, so it think it's a have an immature goose hence the difficulty identifying it. I believe after comparing photos and reading descriptions that it's a Snow Goose or a Blue Goose (dark morph goose).
