« You can find Canada Geese on almost any
type of wetland, from small ponds to large lakes
and rivers. However, Canada Geese spend as
much or more time on land as they do in water.

Canada Geese breed in a wide range of habitats.
They prefer low-lying areas with great expanses
of wet grassy meadows and an abundance of ponds
and lakes that serve as refuges from foxes and other
land predators. The most northerly geese breed on
the treeless tundra of the Arctic. Below the treeline,
the geese nest in the open boreal forest, with its
scattered stands of stunted spruce and tamarack.
In southern Canada and throughout the United States,
nesting Canada Geese are at home in many places,
from sheltered mountain streams and prairie pothole
ponds to golf courses and urban parks. During fall
and winter, Canada Geese favour agricultural land
where vast fields of cereal grains and other crops
provide abundant food and relative safety from predators.

Family bonds are strong in Canada Geese—goslings
stay with their parents for a full year, returning to
the breeding grounds with them after their first winter.
Migrating flocks in fall and spring thus consist of
a number of families travelling together. »


While most Canada Geese are territorial during
the nesting period, they congregate in flocks of
several hundred to several thousand when they
are migrating or are on the wintering areas. »

Merci

Hello Asbed,
A fine well-composed shot of three canada geese in flight. Most of all I like the lighting and colors with the hint of their reflections on the choppy water.
Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Asbed,

A good angle on the water and its almost appearance of motion in still...it gives a new dynamism to the Canadian Geese which under normal circumstances are seen as much more common. Well done Asbed!
Bob

Hi Asbed,

I had a busy Fourth of July weekend and missed this pair of Canadian Geese. The two are beautiful as they fly over the wonderful dark blue water. Colors, details, and wing positions are excellent. It's so hot here that I would love to be in that water!

Bonjour Asbed,

La prise de vue permet d'observer les oies canadiennes en vol. Le sujet est bien cadré. La réflexion de la lumière sur le bleu de la rivière met en valeur les couleurs des oies. Un sujet qui est captivant, bonne journée.
