Canada Goose

Swans, geese and ducks are also known as the waterfowls, which means they are birds that spend their lives on or near water for a living. Because they are waterfowls, or water birds (that is if you're putting words into direct meaning.), that puts them in a typical physical appearance, which includes flat, shovel-shaped beaks, webbed feet and waterproof feathers. Most of the waterfowls get their food either from the water itself or from underwater mud, except for geese, who are exceptions to this rule - they feed on land, pulling up grass and plants with their beaks.

Most waterfowls nest on the ground, and their chicks can swim just only a few hours after they are hatched. There are more than 150 species of these birds. Ducks are found all over the world, but most geese live in the Northern Hemisphere and breed in the Arctic.

Now the Canadian Goose is a handsome goose has a brown and white body and a black head, with white "chinstrap" on its throat. It breeds near lakes and in wetlands throughout Canada and the Northern United States, and its size varies according to where it lives. The largest geese, from the American Great Plains and be seven times heavier than the ones in Alaska - a record difference for the same species of bird. In the early evening, Canada Geese usually return to water to roost. They make a loud, honking noise as they fly.

Migrating birds, or gees, also have a ranking status while flying, the leader always is the head of a upside down V shape, or the front of a whatever shape the flock might form, depending of the group number, and the rank follows to the end whereas the lowest or the least experienced ones wrap up the rear.

The Canadian Geese's distribution are in the North America, but then introduced into Northern Europe and New Zealand and their size can go up to 3.5 ft or 1.1 m long.
