Greater White-fronted Geese

Michael & I have found Greater-white Fronted Geese at a handful of locations. The most reliable would be on the Chattahoochee River near Eufaula NWR where we've found them for the past twenty years or so. We've also had them at Upson County, Clayton County, Spalding County, near the coast, Lake Seminole, Lake Hartwell, and other places.

These three were found by Michael Beohm on, I believe, December 28, 2005, at Bainbridge (southern Coastal Plain of GA).

I found this GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE at Lake Hartwell, Dec 20, 2013. - Nice to see such a beautiful bird and one that cooperates for a photo!

Greater White-fronted Geese and Snow Geese in Upson County on Feb 28, 2007. Found and photoed by Michael Beohm.

I had these Greater White-fronted Geese circle over us in Upson County on 04/15/07. I watched them with my binos and took a few photos with a small camera without much of a zoom.

The birds flew out of sight to the west. We saw them fly by again a couple miles away.

Pretty rare sighting for Georgia.

Interestingly, I saw what looked liked six GWF Geese fly by in south Atlanta on 04/17/07.
