Description
Atlantic Brant are small geese that migrate between their tundra breeding grounds down into North and South Carolina. Their main food is/was eel grass, but when the eel grass almost disappeared, the Brant began eating sea lettuce and other seaweeds. They've made a comeback by adapting.

They look so intelligent :) The grey-green water suits their colouring beautifully.
Carol Senske replied:
My assessment is they are intelligent. The expression "bird brain" is wrongly used for most birds. The stormy skies made the water this beautiful color. Thanks, Bette!
