A stab at Ducks, Geese and Swans
This picture looks like a combination of Duck, goose and swan. All three animals like to be near water. I could say that ducks generally have web feet in order to swim and walk in muddy areas. However since Geese and Swans are larger creatures the web feet would not help it to walk in muddy areas because they are usually larger and heavier than duck.
Goose used to be the term for female geese. The male counterpart is the gander. Remember the line what is good for the goose is good for the Gander?
Not all swans are pure white but if you google swan you will see lots of pure white swans. Here is one with not a pure white swan:
Hence the confusion of whether or not a Canadian goose is a swan or a goose. Pure white birds are generally called swans and some swans are larger than some geese. They are closely related so it is safe to just call all birds who are larger than ducks, geese and if they are looking like canadian geese never call them swans.
A big Digression (off topic) from urban dictionary1. Goose 991 up, 254 down A verb, which means to grab someone between their butt cheeks and to squeeze, almost with an intent to hurt, although it is often done in a joking, playful manner between friends. The most common way to goose someone is with the fingers and thumb of one hand. The fingers grab from the bottom, and the thumb from the top. Then, in an upwards, and squeezing motion, you goose them. It is normally done while the "receiver" is wearing clothes, although there is no reason why it couldn't be done without clothes.What the...oh man, I've just been goosed!
He goosed me so hard it bruised my anus!
The reason I have skid marks on my undies must be because I was goosed ealier today.
"Man, don't goose me again, okay?"
"Ah, c'mon, what's a little goossing between friends?"

I needed this lesson . lol I get them mixed up.
@Babyboomerjill - Yes you were the muse for this blog.
The gander (your first picture) is large and mean. He will not back down in a confrontation with a person, especially if his goslings are present.
When did you last use "gosling" in a sentence?I thought so lol
@we_deny_everything - Fortunately not many geese are around here
. I have witnessed a bunch of chickens ganging up on a duck....Say isn't there a gosling family on television?
very subtle
