[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Andean Goose (Chloephaga melanoptera) has an artistic beuty.
It is resident of the high plains (altiplano) of the Andes, 3000-4000m amsl. Its habitat includes grasslands, bogs, lakes and marshes. Nevertheless it is largely terrestrial and avoids swimming except in emergencies.
The Andean Goose is a grazing species, eating various grasses.
It nests on the ground in a bare scrape near water, laying 6-10 eggs. It is territorial in the breeding season, but otherwise forms small flocks.
The female (left) is similar to the male, but is smaller.

G'day yedidia
Nice POV, Lighting is good as well as detail although the extra sharponing has given the affect of extra noise
