The Snow Goose was completed on 10.31.2010. Snow Geese are such wonderful looking animals! This one in flight was particularly fun to draw. The 3/4 view in flight is a favorite pose to render. The drawing is based on a photo by the talented wildlife photographer Nancy J. Wagner.
The Snow Goose - also called the Blue Goose - is a large bird native to the the Western Arctic and North America. During the 1900s, the bird was almost extinct, with a population of a mere one or two thousand individuals. But since then their numbers have become very large, estimated to be in the area of 5,000,000 birds, which is a dramatic increase even from just a few decades ago. They're know for their massive migrations, which is from their nesting areas in the arctic to areas south, and during this they can cover some 3,000 miles. These large birds feed almost exclusively on plant materials like seeds, leaves and the roots of aquatic vegetation. The young will occasionally feed on insects.
