Pics were taken in a local cemetery with a cell phone during a morning run.
Quite possibly a domesticated variety.

Yes, they're domestic. Liam might be along to say which kind.

Agree with Domestic. They might all be Pilgrim, tough to tell from these photos.

Not sure if it's just a trick of the photo, but if the neck on one of those brown geese is as bi-colored as it appears, it could be a Chinese x Greylag hybrid. Not an uncommon hybrid in captivity.

Thanks for the info. I assumed they were domestics of some sort and probably put in the cemetery intentionally. It is Forest Lawn in Buffalo, NY and is one of the oldest around here and is incredibly famous locally.
