Sunday Inspiration – Geese and Swans
Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) by Dan
“And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,” (Leviticus 11:18)
As we continue in the Anatidae Family of Ducks, Geese and Swans, this week we will introduce you to four genera. The Branta, the Anser, and the Coscorba genera are made up of Geese. The Cygnus genus are Swans.
Anserinae is a subfamily of swans and geese (three to seven extant genera with 25–30 living species, mainly cool temperate Northern Hemisphere, but also some Southern Hemisphere species, with the swans in one genus, and the geese in three genera. Some other species are sometimes placed herein, but seem somewhat more distinct.
- Branta, black geese (six living species) (These were in last week’s Sunday Inspiration)
- Anser, grey geese (eight species)
- Chen, white geese (three species, now included in Anser)
- Coscorba, unresolved (one species)
- Cygnus, true swans (six species, four sometimes separated in Olor)

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
