Like the Snowy Owl and Snow Bunting, the Snow Goose nests at the “top of the world” on tundra, much of it above the Arctic Circle. This means that from about late March to late October, this is a wilderness bird. This fact, however, is easily dismissed in fall and winter by people enjoying the sight of thousands of gleaming-white birds coming in to land at national wildlife refuges, like these in Washington state. Although one of the world's most abundant waterfowl species, the Snow Goose is regularly seen by fewer people than is the familiar Canada Goose. This is mainly because, as well as being a tundra nester, the Snow Goose tends to concentrate in key migration and wintering spots and thus is not as widespread. #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #amazinganimals #earth #snowgeese
