Branta Canadensis
Canada Goose
Bernache du Canada
Description
The Canada Goose is the most common of geese in Canada. A brownish body with a black head, long black neck and white chin strap characterize the colouring of this goose. A rich, musical honking is the call of the larger species and a high pitched cackling is that of the smaller.
Distribution
This goose lives throughout the majority of North America in lakes, bays, rivers and marshes. They are often seen feeding in open grasslands and stubble fields. They have become a semi-domesticated bird in city parks and on reservoirs.
Biology
The Canada goose is well known for it's V-shaped migrating flocks and characteristic honk. They are chiefly grazers, feeding on stubble fields and marsh vegetation. There are 11 geographical races; some with populations well over a million, some barely over one thousand.
Photo note
Taken on a cloudy day during the afternoon. This one was sleeping in a pond near the road. Stopped the car, walked to about 10m from him.
Cropped, slightly leveled and sharpened with PS CS. |

Bon cliché, René. Composition toute simple pour cette bernache aux yeux fermés qui 'réfléchit'. J'aime.
Détails nets sous un éclairage pas évident à gérer.
Bravo et Merci!
