Description

The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a wild goose with a black head and neck, white patches on the face, and a brownish-gray body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, it is occasionally found in northern Europe, and has been introduced to other temperate regions.
The Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) - also sometimes referred to as Canadian Geese - are the most widely distributed geese in North America, with a range that stretches across the Arctic and temperate regions of North America.

They also occur in northern Europe, on the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Siberia, eastern China and throughout Japan. Introduced populations have also established themselves in New Zealand.

This species has adapted well to living in urban and suburban areas and are commonly found on lakes, ponds and rivers.

This large goose is easily recognized by its black head and neck, distinctive white patches on the face, light tan to cream chest and its otherwise brownish-grey plumage.

They are strong swimmers, divers and flyers. Canada Geese are well known for their V-shaped flight formation, during which the front position is rotated since flying in front consumes the most energy. In Canada and other breeding territories, the loud honking calls made by the large flocks of migrating Canada Geese flying above signal the transitions into spring or autumn.
