Magpie goose (Anseranas semipalmata) |
This goose has to be the wierdest looking
of all the waterfowl. The face of the Magpie goose has an almost prehistoric
look to it and makes for some fascinating close ups. This goose is native
to north and eastern Australia where it can be found in marshes, swamps
and lagoons feeding on a diet of aquatic vegetation. It is a gregarious
bird found in large flocks outside the breeding season. |
