The Snow Goose (Anser caerulescens) is native to North America. It is predominantly found in the Arctic and subarctic regions of Canada and Greenland during the breeding season. During migration and winter, its range extends to the United States and northeastern Mexico.

The Snow Goose typically inhabits wetlands, tundra, and coastal marshes during the breeding season. It prefers areas with abundant vegetation to forage on. During migration and winter, it can be found in agricultural fields, estuaries, and coastal marshes.

The Snow Goose is primarily a herbivore, feeding on grasses, grains, and roots. It is well adapted to cold environments and migrates in large flocks, which provides protection from predators. Seasonal migrations are a critical part of its life cycle, allowing it to exploit different habitats and resources throughout the year.
