Love at First Sight?

            It was spring in the southern hemisphere when we visited Tierra del Fuego in early November 2011 and many species of birds were in a courting mood. Could the intimate eye contact between these two Ashy-headed Geese be Love at First Sight?

The Ashy-headed Goose (Chloephaga poliocephala) is a terrestrial species that seldom swims. It feeds by grazing in clearings of damp Patagonian forests. Both sexes share the same colors and markings. Immature birds have brown heads that turn grey as they mature. This species is resident in the southernmost part of South America.
