 Here we see a snoozing Snow goose (Anser caerulescens), a species of goose native to North America which breeds north of the timberline in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and the northeastern tip of Siberia, and spend winters in warm parts of North America from southwestern British Columbia through parts of the United States to Mexico. Both white and dark morphs exist, the latter often known as blue goose. Its name derives from the typically white plumage (with black wing tips). The species was previously placed in the genus Chen, but is now typically included in the "gray goose" genus Anser.
