I came back to the pond with camera in hand, and the snow goose was thankfully still there :)

"Very localized, but abundant where they occur, Snow Geese typically are seen in large numbers or not at all. Included under this heading is the 'Blue Goose,' long considered a separate species, now known to be only a color morph of the smaller race of Snow (Lesser Snow Goose). The two color forms mate with each other, and may produce young of either or both colors. A larger race, Greater Snow Goose, nests in far eastern regions of Canada and winters on the Atlantic Coast."

Dawn’s First Flight from Years-Long Night

Dedicated to my brother.

My brother and I have always been pretty close, especially though some really difficult times growing up. After almost seven years of incarceration, he was released from prison this past November. For those years, we could only visit every few months since he was imprisoned quite a ways away from us. Not long after his first year, we visited him in winter and on the long way home we drove along the Illinois River. That was the first time I’d seen Snow Geese and it left a big impression on me. Funnily, when we picked him up in November, I saw a flock of Snow Geese flying over the prison that none of us will ever have to see again. Now it’s the bird I’ll associate most with my brother.

Although my brother was the main inspiration for this piece, over the course of working on it I started to project more personal sentiments upon it as well. 2022, especially the end of it, was full of a lot of exhausting challenges. Mentally and emotionally I’m still recovering, but I’m hoping very much to leave all that behind as I process things and step into a brighter year. And to anyone reading this, I very much wish the best for you too.

BUNNIES BY THE BAY Avery the Aviator Snow Goose

[malavoie1]

We were surprised to find a snow goose at Baie-du-Febvre, QC in early August. Birdwatchers at the bird observatory there told us that this goose may not have completed its northward spring migration due to various factors. It could have faced adverse weather, lacked sufficient food, or simply became too exhausted.

Baie-du-Febvre, QC is a renowned birdwatching haven, attracting enthusiasts with its diverse avian species, especially during migration seasons. Ideal for spotting rare and abundant birds.
