Snow goose (Chen caerulescens)

The snow goose (Anser caerulescens), consisting of both a white morph and dark morph (blue goose), is a North American species of goose.he scientific name is from the Latin anser, “goose”, and caerulescens, “bluish”, derived from caeruleus , “dark blue”.

The snow goose has two color plumage morphs, white (snow) or gray/blue (blue), thus the common description as “snows” and “blues”. White-morph birds are white except for black wing tips, but blue-morph geese have bluish-grey plumage replacing the white except on the head, neck and tail tip. The immature blue phase is drab or slate-gray with little to no white on the head, neck, or belly.

Only few observations in Dobrogea area.
