Some Snow Geese are mostly dark, with a little white on them.

The following photos show these Dark Morph Snow Geese in flight during their late winter migration, mixed in with the more common white ones.

Interesting, and well done – I haven’t seen the dark morph Snow geese. There are huge flocks of them well north of here, just off the roads, but I confess I have not looked carefully at individual birds. I should.

Beautiful shots! This time last year my husband and I stopped at a local lake and came upon what was estimated to be over 200,000 migrating snow geese. It was a sight I’ll never forget.

Your post prompted me to learn more at allaboutbirds.org Interesting to read about the blue morph mutation. I didn’t know that!
