Ross's Goose (Chen rossii) |
Quite a small. almost Mallard sized
goose that can be found on the Arctic tundra in the breeding season
and further south into North America/California on salt or fresh marshes
in the winter. It is quite a rare bird. It nests in small colonies laying
4 or 5 creamy-white eggs in a down-lined grass nest placed on a small
island in a lake or river. |
