Chinese Geese
The Chinese goose, or Asian swan goose, is native to eastern Asia.
Asian swan geese have a semi-annual migration, and tend to spend the summer months in the Mongol Daguur, a steep mountainous range where the borders of Russia, Mongolia and China meet.
In the fall they will fly to the Yangtza River Basin where they remain until the warmer months.
