Bean Goose Hunting

The Bean Goose (Anser faba) is a large waterfowl found in northern Europe and Asia, breeding in tundra and taiga regions. It measures about 70 to 80 cm in length and has a long neck, brown plumage, and a distinctive orange or yellow bill. Migratory in nature, these geese form large flocks during migration to wintering areas. Their diet mainly consists of vegetation, including grasses and seeds. The Bean Goose includes several subspecies, with varying sizes and migratory patterns. While some populations are stable, they can face threats from habitat loss and hunting, making them an important species for conservation efforts.
