Geese Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons (Scopoli) Status: The Greater White-fronted Goose is a common transient statewide, is uncommon and local in winter, and is casual in summer. Period of Occurrence: Extreme dates for presumed migrants are from 19 September to 27 Nov- ember and 14 February to 22 May. Peak migrations are in mid-November and late Feb- ruary. A few flocks, notably at Cheyenne Bottoms, remain until all water is frozen. Summer stragglers are often injured or sick. Habits and Habitat: Although Greater White-fronted Geese occur in large numbers at some localities, they are less familiar than Canada Geese to most people . They typically fly high, often in a V, and can be recognized by their high-pitched, laughing call. They often mix with flocks of smaller Canada Geese. Larger concentrations occur in Ne-. 67.
