Greater Snow Goose Facts

Latin: Anser caerulescens atlantica

Average length: M 31", F 30"

Average weight: M 7.4 lbs., F 6.1 lbs.

Description: The more prominent snow goose is a somewhat bigger release of the white-stage lesser snow goose. No shade dimorphism has been found in this race. In the field it is for all intents and purpose difficult to differentiate these two races one from the other. In the hand, the bigger size and more bill of the more noteworthy snow goose recognize it from its littler partner. The genders are comparative in appearance, yet the female is regularly more modest. 

Breeding: More prominent snow geese breed chiefly around Foxe Basin, northern Baffin, Bylot, Axel Heiberg and the Ellesmere Islands placed in Nunavut, Canada, and in Greenland. They want to home in settlements on decently emptied westward slants or vegetated ridges, and females lay a normal of 4 eggs. 

Migrating and Wintering: More prominent snow geese leave their cold rearing grounds and move along a thin hall through eastern Canada and the northeastern United States to the mid-Atlantic coast (from New Jersey to North Carolina).

Feeding Habits: More prominent snow geese are grubbers, nourishing on roots, rhizomes and shoots of bulrushes and salt-swamp cordgrass. They likewise make broad utilization of agrarian fields discovered adjoining wintering territories.

Stubb (A Dub)

Do you remember

We called you puppy?

Now you're one of us

We call you family

Family...

Treading underfoot

and stinking ass

Hold the door aside

and let her pass

Glaucoma

Reflections of a bloated lie

A life stored in your cloudy eye

Now it's time to say goodbye

Stubb a Dub will never die

Chase a tail that isn't there

It's time to wipe your butt

Sliding down butt hill

Dahg Rastubfari - do you know

That you're a fucking dog?

If you can hear me, then throw up

Give me a sign

And I'll throw a

stick, bring it back

Roll over and die

You taught me a

lesson - thanks mom!

Do you understand me

Do you think about me

when you're peeing?

Do you really think

you're gonna grow

Into a human being?

This dog has seen better days

You're gonna die

How does it feel, Stubb?

Eat & sleep

Fulfill your only roll

Let your problems seep

Out of your hole

Cataract

Do you remember

We called you family?

Now you're underground

We call you memory

Memory...

Gone.

Stubbs

Stubbs (born April 12, 1997) is a cat who was elected mayor of the town of Talkeetna, Alaska in 1997, as a write-in candidate.

As of 2012, Stubbs is still honorary mayor, and has been described as a tourist attraction, having been flooded with cards and letters, and drawing 30 to 40 tourists each day (most of whom are en route to other Alaska destinations such as Mount McKinley)who hope to meet "the mayor". Stubbs' position is honorary as the town is only a "historical district".

Snow Goose

The Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens), also known as the Blue Goose, is a North American species of goose. Its name derives from the typically white plumage. The genus of this bird is disputed. The American Ornithologists' Union and BirdLife International place this species and the other "white" geese in the Chen genus, while other authorities place it in the more traditional "grey" goose genus Anser.

This goose breeds north of the timberline in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and the northeastern tip of Siberia, and winters in warm parts of North America from southwestern British Columbia through parts of the United States to Mexico. It is a rare vagrant to Europe, but a frequent escape from collections and an occasional feral breeder. Snow Geese are visitors to the British Isles where they are seen regularly among flocks of Barnacle, Brent and Greenland White-fronted geese. There is also a feral population in Scotland from which many vagrant birds in Britain seem to derive.

In Central America, vagrants are frequently encountered during winter.
