There were lots of Canada Geese swimming around on the local pond.
And there was a stranger among them! See how his tail forms a black X?
The geese were checking him out.
They decided that he was very different from them, so quite a few decided to shun him by leaving the pond and going across the street.
Too bad they didn't know how special he is. He is a Snow Goose! And he had come a long way.
But the good part is that he now had the pond almost all to himself. Swim on, little buddy.
The snowbird sings the song
he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

Glad it ended up well for hom in the pond. Good images. Have a wonderful weekend.
He looks so happy swimming in that pond. I remember when Anne Murray sung Snowbird. I'll be humming the song all day now :)
Lovely photos of the geese and I think this might be the first time I've seen a Snow Goose up close.
Hope he is happy and has friends nearby!
Oh how pretty, Ginny! I hope your little buddy finds more of his kind soon, as no one likes being alone. :) Lovingly~ Andrea xxx
I love this story, i thought it would be an ugly duckling story, but this is even better. he sure is pretty and he sure stands out from the crowd.... hope he did not get bullied because he was different.
The snow goose is beautiful! Too bad the other geese didn't appreciate a new friend!
I hope the beautiful snowbird has a buddy around and isn't all alone! It would be interesting to know if he sticks around or flies away home, wherever that may be.
The snow duck was actually the prettiest. I always love odd ducks as I am one of them.
I like snow geese & their painted-on smile!
The Snow Goose is a good looking bird. We sometimes have large flocks go them come through.
Good for Snow Goose to have gotten the pond almost to himeself :-) He is beautiful! And Canada Geese are so cute. They are fun to watch :-)
The snow goose is truly beautiful and now has plenty of room to swim. Funny how even animals go off to others like themselves.

What a beauty! I kind of feel sorry for him though. I hope another snow goose comes along to be his friend :0)
Blessings, Joanne
Oh my, I feel sorry for him. I am in hopes he finds some friends. I am just glad he is well. Not easy flying in such crazy weather we have had.
