Step 5: Draw two downward-pointing triangles beneath the body, and draw a straight line beneath each of them. From there, draw little triangles on the ends of each line for the feet. Your snow goose is done! These birds have two possible colorations: they can be white with black wingtips—these are called “whites”—or they can be bluish-grey with a white head, neck, and tail tips—these are called “blues.” Female snow geese return to the place they hatched to breed. Snow geese form strong pair-bonds, and will protect and raise their children together for 2-3 years.
