The left bird demonstrates the larger size of the Snow Goose and the larger bill of this species. The size can often be difficult to tell, but here you can see that the right bird is noticeably smaller with a small bill (Ross's Goose).
This shot shows the difference in bill size. The left bird (Ross's) has a very small bill while the right bird (Snow) has a much larger bill.
Another shot of the previous birds (Ross's on left and Snow on the right).
The two left birds (Ross's) demonstrate shorter necks; rounder heads; and small, stubby bills. The right bird (Snow) presents with a longer neck; a flatter head profile; and a longer, more robust bill.
The bird on the left (Ross's) shows a smaller head and bill while the bird on the right (Snow) shows a larger head and bill.
