Birds without Borders – Arrival of the Snow Geese
On today’s walk at Coulon Park in Renton, Washington, I came across a group of snow geese, most likely from Wrangell Island, Russia. They were feeding peacefully among the Canada Geese,
side by side.
The one below is a mature adult,
the smaller ones with dark bills are juveniles, which means this is likely their first migration south.
Handsome, aren’t they?
I’m glad they’ve come for the winter and been well received by the resident population of ducks and geese, including this welcoming committee.
We could learn something from them.

They are very beautiful, great photos Susanne! Russia, that’s a long flight, I wonder if they have their passports? 😊
No need! Birds have open borders! 🙂
True, I’m just trying to be funny… 🤭
How nice to see them there, especially since there’s a good chance they’ll soon be deported!
I won’t turn them in! 🙂
If only we could all get along like animals do.
Yes, truly.
Lovely geese, and great to see them continuing the annual migration. At least they have not been affected by climate change and erratic weather patterns. They still know where to go!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. I love having them drop by!
How lovely! And yes, people could definitely learn a lesson here, although I suspect that (sadly) knowing they would be sure to leave again in the spring might improve the welcome they would get, were they people 😢
Yes, these lovely Snow Geese are seasonal visitors, but I love how they blended in easily with the local and already diverse bird population with enough land and food for all.
Yes, absolutely 😀
Amazing how the water fowl and the migrating birds share the water and resources… We would do well to imitate them!
Yes, all different shapes, sizes and colors and there’s plenty for all!
👍🏻🥰
Beautiful!♥️
Thank you!
