We saw several Brants on the shores at First Encounter Beach in Eastham on Cape Cod. The Brant is a small goose of the ocean shores that breeds in the high Arctic tundra and winters along both coasts.

The Brant is a medium to small goose with a black head, neck, and chest and a white, partly broken collar.

The Brant is a very beautiful and distinctive bird. I had never seen one before. Have you?
