About the Greater White-fronted Goose
The greater white-fronted goose is a large goose with a white forehead and black bars on the belly, visiting Japan as a winter migrant. Flocks famously lift off together from their roosting marshes at dawn. Wintering sites such as Izunuma-Uchinuma in Miyagi and Katano-no-Kamoike in Ishikawa are designated Natural Monuments, and the species itself is protected.
