Barnacle Geese nest in Greenland and winter in Europe, but they may very rarely stray to northeastern North America. However most seen on the North America continent are likely aviary escapees and these are likely to associate with wild Canada Geese or other waterfowl.
The Barnacle Goose is the 4th largest wild goose in Canada after the Canada Goose, Greater White-fronted Goose and the Bean Goose.
Barnacle Geese have a very distinctive white pattern face and stubby bill.
