      I'd say that it's a Cape Barren Goose. :)

      I'd put money on it being a cape barren goose :)

      Gorgeous bird, whatever type of goose it is. The color on the beak is memorable, to say the least.

      From the look of those wings, I'd say the bird has a span equal to some of the larger raptors!

      Keep the peace(es).

      I would agree, it was quite a large goose too!

      And they can be quite aggressive when they have eggs or goslings...I've been chased and it was scary as.

      I've seen the results of an attack - they scratch with the claws on their feet, the kid I saw attacked had three deep scratches on the back of one of his legs.

      Yep, that’s a cape barren goose.
