    Snow Goose / Anser caerulescens

    : mid Mar-mid Apr and mid Oct-mid Nov, usually with Canada Geese but a few records of very small single species flocks, either on the ground/water or overhead.

    : Jan 2-12, 2020, an adult in Bar Harbor mostly grazing on the YMCA baseball field. Just outside our area, an adult spent a few days late Dec 2016 at Trenton Airport.

    Miscellany: The eastern populations of Snow Geese migrate mostly west of Maine along the Hudson River Valley via Lake Champlain to and from their Arctic breeding grounds and the great bays of MD, VA and NC where they winter.
