Description


Captured this handsome guy, who was attentively munching on a bread crumb, back on 5/10/10, at the edge of beautiful Legg Lake in the beautiful Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, in not-so-beautiful South El Monte, California. An addendum to my yesterday's posting of this variety of waterfowl. No long distance shot here; I was right on top of the critter. The Chinese goose is a breed of domesticated goose descended from the wild swan goose. Chinese geese differ from the wild birds in much larger size (up to 5–10 kg in males, 4–9 kg in females), and in having an often strongly developed basal knob on the upper side of the bill. The knob at the top of the beak is more prominent on males than females. By 6–8 weeks of age, the knob is already pronounced enough that it can be used for determining gender. Chinese geese are a close cousin of the African goose, a heavier breed also descended from the swan goose. Chinese geese appear in two varieties: a brown similar to the wild swan goose and white. ....Wikipedia free encyclopedia. Auf wiedersehen.

What lovely closeups of this handsome fellow, Harry. I always enjoy park ducks and geese so long as they don't chase me.
