Sublime and Beautiful Sunday the Brant Geese have arrived

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

We had a couple of warmer days, admitedly it did rain quiet a bit on those warmer days, butone afternoon the rain took a break and I popped out for a walk, I headed to Fort Tabor Park, and noticed there were a lot of Geese in the water by the beach, and they happenned to be Brant Geese

Now I am no expert on birds in fact in a recent post I confused between seagulls and pigeons which type had dive bombed me and cut my head LOL

BUt solely due to the fact that a fellow photographer from New Bedford who I have meet a couple of times when out for walks, shares on Farcebook his photos and he recently shared some shots of the Brant Geese, so I Noticed these looked a bit different fromthe normal canadian Geese we have here, and did a little google research and found out these are indeed Brant Geese

how dfo yout ell the difference you may wonder, well I did wonder and here is how

Someone who is neither birder nor waterfowler might mistake the brant for Canada geese, since they share the same basic colors. Upon closer observation, differences in plumage will be obvious. The Canada's white cheek patch is re- placed on the brant by a ring of small white bars circling the neck

you can see the ring around the neck clearly in this next shot

NOw a lot of birds may migrate away from here over winter but it sees the Brant Geese like it here, I am not sure if they stay for the full winter or were just passing through

I hope this post isnt boring with all the shots of the same type of geese, but it was cool to get out for a walk, to see so many of them on the water by the beach and to learn about the difference in the types
