Common Birds of Lake Merritt

A few of the more common birds you're likely to see in and around the lake. Still a work in progress.

Canada Goose

The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a goose with a black head and neck, white patches on the face, and a brownish-gray body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, it also occasionally migrates to northern Europe, and has been introduced to Britain, New Zealand, and other temperate regions.
