A Nene Goose poses with its neck elegantly curved, lying on the grass in front of a palm trunk. It looks like a small Canada goose but its face and cap of black feathers blend softly into the neck feathers instead of the sharp delineation of the Canada's face. The body feathers look much the same, though
My offering for #BirdoftheDay with today's theme of #SideProfiles is this sweet Nene Goose. Their resemblance to Canada Geese supposes that they evolved from wayward Canadas that ended up in the Hawaiian archipelago.
