Canada goose

The Canada goose is a big, striking bird with a black head and neck, white cheek patches, and a warm brown body. These geese thrive near water across North America and have been introduced to parts of Europe and South America. They’re strong flyers that travel in noisy V-shaped flocks during migration.

• Their diet consists mainly of plants like grasses and aquatic vegetation.
• They can be found in marshes, lakes, and even city parks with ponds.
• Some populations stay put year-round if food and open water are available.
