	Snow Goose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This goose breeds in northern Canada and the northeastern tip of Siberia, and winters much further south in the continent in the southern USA and beyond.
		Snow Geese in North America have increased to the point where the tundra breeding areas in the Arctic and the saltmarsh wintering grounds are both becoming severely degraded, and this affects other species using the same habitat.
		Snow Geese are rare visitors to the British Isles, where they are seen regularly among flocks of Barnacle, Brent and Greenland White-fronted geese.

	Season Two - November Bird of the Month - The Snow Goose
		The blue goose is bluish gray with a white head, neck and belly, and is found primarily along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana.
		Snow geese breed on the high Arctic tundra and migrate southward after the nesting season to spend the winter in scattered locations throughout the interior of the U.S. and Mexico.
		The white and blue snow geese are members of a subspecies sometimes called the "lesser snow goose." The larger "greater snow goose" breeds around Baffin Bay and winters only along the mid-Atlantic coast while the "lesser snow goose" typically nests on the western shore of Hudson Bay.

		Breeding of snow geese usually does not occur until the bird is at least 3 years of age even though the snow goose reaches sexual maturity at the age of 2 (Bellrose 1980).
		Shifts in wintering areas and habitats by snow geese have resulted in greater nimbers of geese surviving over winters a nd ncreasing numbers of geese returning to their fragile arctic breeding ranges.

		Snow goose decoys need to be realistic, durable, have some motion, ability to float when hunting over water, and sometimes lightweight and portable if you are walking into fields.
		Silhouette snow goose decoys weigh more than windsock snow goose decoys and tend not to be as effective in decoying snow geese as they are Canada geese.

		A huge spread pulls snows in for a look, but it takes more than numbers to lure wary flocks the last few yards that make the difference between shooting a few on the swing and raining geese into the decoys.
		While snow goose hunters traditionally wear white smocks and become decoys themselves, Vaca prefers to have his hunters wear camo and cover up in low-profile ground blinds--especially hay-bale types.
		Vaca says snows aren't as tough as the large Canadas he hunts in the fall, and in most cases his shots are taken well inside 40 yards.

		The snow goose also forages, or searches for food, in farm fields, where it feeds on waste oats and corn or grazes on grass, weeds, and clover.
		Greater Snow Geese have a number of natural predators: arctic foxes, arctic wolves, gulls, jaegers (birds that resemble gulls), Gyrfalcons, and ravens prey on the geese or eggs.
		In particular, the recent development of large-scale farming operations devoted to one crop, such as corn or cereals, have produced an unlimited supplement to the snow goose’s traditional diet and led to improved survival of the geese during winter and during migratory stopovers.

		With the migration of the snow goose, Rhayader becomes lonely again as Firth does no visit him anymore, hence why the song is called “Rhayader alone.” It is quite a mellow song and follows the same vein of the quieter songs near the beginning of the album with mellow keyboard chords and lush guitar.
		The Snow Goose is a pleasant and highly melodic album that already sounded a little dated at the time its release in 1975 (compare it to the futuristic adventures of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Relayer, Red, Wish You Were Here etc that were also released around the same time).

		The snow geese feeding version contains barks, murmurs, growls, and hiccups of hundreds of snow geese, yet it is clear enough to hear the loud hiccups and low-end murmurs of individual snow geese.
		If you are strictly hunting refuge snow geese in a feed field and the snow geese are flying relatively low, all that is needed for electronic calling assistance (for maximum effectiveness continue to mouth call with conventional snow goose calls while playing the "Snow Talker" in your e-caller) is the snow geese feeding version.
		If you are hunting snow geese during a migration day or they are flying higher than normal do to low wind, we have found you need both the flying and the feeding version of the "Snow Talker" to maximize your e-calling success.
