Geese, Ducks and Swans

Geese are large heavy- bodied waterfowl usually between the size of ducks and swans. They have long necks, large body, large webbed feet, and a wide, flat bill. 

Ducks are the common name of a wide variety of waterfowl. The overall body of ducks are elongated and broad. They have relativity long necks and they have specialized bills depending on the species. They have strong, well defined feet for swimming and diving. They also have very strong wings that are usually short and pointed. 

Swans are the largest of the waterfowl family. Swans have a heavy body, very large feet, and a very long graceful neck. When swimming they glide majestically over the water. Their wing beat is slow and they fly with their necks outstretched. They mate for life but in the event of the loss of a mate or even nest failure they will change mates.
