🪿Canada Goose
La barnacla canadiense (Branta canadensis), también conocida como ganso de Canadá, es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae. Es el miembro del género Branta más ampliamente distribuido por Norteamérica. En estado silvestre, aún pueden encontrarse las siete subespecies, cinco de las cuales eran antes asignadas a la barnacla de Hutchins (Branta hutchinsii). Estuvo amenazada como consecuencia de la depredación sobre la especie entre el siglo XIX y el XX; sin embargo, una serie de leyes conservacionistas y la dedicación de las agencias protectoras de la vida salvaje de Canadá y Estados Unidos, logró revertir la situación, llegando a duplicarse en 1974 la cantidad de individuos que había hacia 1950.
