I certainly embrace the concept of anything being anywhere, but I also know that we have a good number of waterfowl breeders here in WA and in the lower mainland of BC, so the potential for escaped birds should always be a consideration. I have a few nice photos of Barnacle Geese, taken at one particular breeder's waterfowl farm.
