The biggest news this week at Great Bend’s Brit Spaugh Zoo was the arrival of a new animal on Wednesday. (See story on page 1.) Seems like the zoo is always adding new animals, especially if one counts the hundreds of migrating birds that visit every December. White domestic geese can be found at the zoo year-round, but flocks of Canada geese start their noisy southern migration in the fall, flying in V-formation and honking like New Year’s Eve partiers. These geese have grayish plumage, a black neck and head, and a white throat patch.
