The Cape Barren goose is native to southern Australia, including Tasmania. There were tons of them on Maria Island — just off the coast of Tasmania — where I photographed this one. They are a rare species of goose and rather large, weighing in at up to 16 pounds. An interesting fact about Cape Barren geese is that they have the ability to drink salt of brackish water. This allows them to stay on offshore islands throughout the year. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 340mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/2500th of a second
