The Canada Goose Chin Strap

Imprinting
The black bear has a white chest patch, also known as a blaze, for a variety of reasons. One theory is that it serves as a visual cue for mother bears to locate their cubs in dense forest or tall grass.

It usually occurs early in life, during a critical period. That is why the textbooks call it phase-sensitive learning. It is learning which happens at a particular age or a particular life stage. The animal fixes on a particular signal (sound or sight), which is said to be 'imprinted' onto the subject. The process of imprinting is caused by an inherited instinct.

Notes: sometimes a reach pans out...when Maya my dog was a puppy, I was taken with her coloration...white chest, white boots...and I looked about to see if it was rare...nope...found a whole litter of Husky/Shepard lookalikes...but I began seeing the white chinstrap/chest/bib/blaze on other animals, on Canada Geese, which are all over the parks hereabout that have a pond...took the searchup by the horns this evening, and found imprinting...that's it!...to confirm, I looked up Mergansers, and sure enough, a white chin on the females...I kinda imprinted on Mergansers on first seeing them on the Merced in the Valley!
Aloha,
