Greater White-fronted Goose - Anser albifrons

Every year when we visit Santa Fe Dam for some birding we always see this bird. It had gotten used to urban living and associates itself with the more common Greylags.

In December 2010, a flock of this species visited the Candaba Wetlands in the Philippines. Although they are migrants from northern Asia, the Philippines is not their usual destination during winter.
