First salt and pepper seen on our deep pond. Greenwood, Indiana
Just saw one of these with much more white in Northwest Seattle!
We currently have one of these on our pond in Plymouth Indiana. Very pretty goose!
Just saw one this morning on an inlet on Pender Island, BC. Seemed to be staying separate from a flock of Canada Geese.
There are three of these on a pond in Texarkana, Arkansas this morning. New to me but gorgeous birds!
Just had one land in the river in front of my house here in southern Ontario. 95% white neck and head with a few small black patches. Flying with about 9 regular Canadian geese.
We have one on our local canal widnes cheshire uk
On the sonoma state university pond

We have one on Laguna Creek, in Elk Grove, CA. It has paired with a regularly marked one.
Saw one in January 2024 at a large regional park in California. It came right up to me as if were tame. This one had beautiful blue eyes— really! I never knew there was a “Salt & Pepper Goose”.
I also saw a salt and pepper Canada Goose today at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, New York!
We just saw two yesterday on our lake. We have never seen them before. Very unusual. Rio Linda, California
