These two juvenile Greater White-fronted
Geese (Anser albifrons) were photographed at
Village Creek Drying Beds, Fort Worth, Texas on January 12, 1999
by Martin Reid; click here for pics
of these birds on December 31, 1998. Note the long, dark-tipped
all-orange bill (with peachy - not pink - tone near tip),
the thick,longish neck, the overall darkness
of the plumage, and the long legs. Note also the dark
flank feathers (2nd gen,?), the greater coverts with fairly
thin pale trailing edge, the partial white face "front",
and the difference in white tipping to the tail between
these individuals:
