Identification and description:
The Tundra Bean Goose, Anser serrirostris, is a medium-sized waterfowl belonging to the Anatidae family. It is characterized by its brown-grey plumage, orange legs, and a black bill with an orange band in the middle. This migratory bird frequents wetlands, marshes, and flooded meadows. During the breeding season, it nests mainly in Arctic and subarctic regions. In winter, it migrates to more temperate areas, often in large flocks. The Tundra Bean Goose is a gregarious bird, forming noisy and active groups. It primarily feeds on aquatic plants, seeds, and roots, which it finds by probing in the mud or grazing in fields.

Recommended lens:
400mm – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Tundra Bean Goose, focus on wetlands where it is active. Use a 400mm or longer telephoto lens to capture detailed images without disturbing the bird. Be patient and discreet, as this species is suspicious. The best times for photography are early morning or late afternoon when the light is soft. Wear neutral-colored clothing to blend in with the environment.
