Description The swan goose (Anser cygnoides) is a rare large goose with a natural breeding range in inland Mongolia, northernmost China, and southeastern Russia.

It  seems to be lost here and it always follows a swan:

Ooo,ooo,ooo! It's a Brown African (or Chinese, they both look the same)!!! We used to have these guys, they were our watch-birds and scared off the coyotes that would come and eat our chickens.

From my research they originally came from China but then were domesticated in Africa and they were finally "exported" to Europe and America from Africa.
This one was lost and started to hang out with swans.

It's the first time I've seen one here. Maybe a barnyard escapee

Haha, perhaps it was or a transient on its way to warmer places?
