    Chinese Geese?

    Attachment: chgoose.jpg
    Took this picture in NE Ohio at a pond near the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on 1/13/08. There were Greylag and Domestic Geese present so I wanted to know if these are perhaps Chinese Geese?

    Greater White-fronted Goose, which refers to the white front on the forehead.

    Actually, they do look more like domestic Chinese Swan Geese to me. See the bulge above the bill on the one bird?

    I agree with TheGrine.

    These can't be Greater White-fronted Geese with that huge bulge on the goose's bill. Nice catch!

    I think they are Chinese Swan Geese.
