Admiring Beauty


While strolling through Brackenridge Park, a very large inner-city park in San Antonio, TX, I came across this sweet thing.  I'm not sure of its identification.  Perhaps a White-fronted Goose hybrid?


P.S.   Apparently, what we have here is an exotic domestic, called a Chinese Goose.  Even she thinks she's worth looking at twice! 
I thank you, Mainiac, for coming to the rescue!

  1. KaHolly- It's not a hybrid, it's an exotic domestic goose called a Chinese Goose. Maineiac

  4. That's too funny. The goose does look as if it is admiring itself.
    Ohhh...and thanks for the link in your sidebar - I need a couple of inexpensive door prizes for a workshop I'm leading. Those tissue cozies will be perfect! Not only are they handy, they are "green" too!
