Oie des neiges / Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens)

La couleur rouille caractéristique de la tête et du cou de la grande oie blanche provient du fer oxydé du sol des berges du Saint-Laurent, dans lequel elle plonge sa tête pour retirer la racine de scirpe d'Amérique.

The characteristic rust color of the head and neck of the great white goose comes from the oxidized iron soil of the banks of the St. Lawrence, in which it plunges its head to remove the root of American bulrush.
