Canada Geese
Canada Geese are large waterfowl native to North America, recognized by their distinctive black heads and necks, white cheek patches, and brown bodies. They are migratory birds, traveling in V-formation flocks, and are known for their loud honking calls. Canada Geese are herbivores, feeding on grasses, aquatic plants, and grains. They are found in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, fields, and urban parks. Adults can weigh between 5.5 to 14 pounds and have a wingspan of up to 6 feet. Canada Geese are monogamous and mate for life, with both parents sharing incubation and chick-rearing duties. They are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and are considered a game species in many areas.
