Monday Nature Mystery
 

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Nature Mystery, the aptly named, Karen Brandt!

Congratulations to Karen for correctly identifying both Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) and Barnacle Goose (Branta leucopsis). The Barnacle Goose is a rare treat for our area. Smaller than the familiar Canada Goose, it nests on Arctic coasts and usually overwinters in northwestern Europe. To see more photos click here.

Each Monday, beginning again on January 4, 2021, we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag. 

Thanks for your participation this year, and we look forward to continuing this fun and engaging contest in 2021!
