White Geese (Chen) Identification

White Geese (Chen) photos

White Geese belong to the Chen genus and include about three species including the Emperor Goose, Ross's Goose, and Snow Goose. These geese are sometimes grouped under the Anser family of Grey Geese.



These three geese all have reddish beaks and legs, black wing-tips, and a white head with no markings. The Snow Goose has two distinct colour morphs which is either white (snows) or grey-blue (blues).
