Anser albifrons
Status: Uncommon winter visitor
Occurrence: Greater White-fronted Goose has been recorded within
the greater South Plains area from October to May with most sightings occurring
between November and February.
Greater White-fronted Goose is
typically found with other goose species. Good places to look for the
White-fronted Geese are many of the in town playas, the Lubbock County Farm
fields east of town, or any place where large numbers of geese congregate. They
are most likely to be found in small groups, but numbers up to 42 have been
recorded. I personally have never seen more than 20 in the county.
This bird is often referred to as
Speckle Belly.
