Canadian Goose Pictures For Your EntertainmentCanadian Goose Pictures are really easy to come by. For all who love to follow the migratory Canadian Goose, I have created this page especially for you. These birds seem to have become our friends. I really enjoy hearing the familiar honk of these flocks as they mark the coming of Spring and Fall. To help with viewing and saving pictures I have created an easy download instructions page here. Be sure and contact us with any questions or suggestions you may have. We love special requests. The Family Grows
Around late April to early May you will start to see the arrival of the new members of the flocks. The Canadian Geese are naturally migratory birds. This means that they fly south for the winter. However, we have been creating a habitat for them in our local cities and suburban areas. In our efforts to preserve the wetlands and lake areas we are also providing an excellent breeding ground for our friends, the Canadian Geese. For this reason many of the goslings born in North America have never seen Canada except perhaps on a visit. In the last picture above you see Mama taking the new goslings on a swim down the Dupage River in Illinois. I am sure papa was not far behind. It is common to see the male leading their flock of geese with the female pulling up the rear to keep an eye. The Canadian Goose usually pair up for a lifetime partnership (as long as 20 years). Mates for Life
As you can see by these two images, the Canadian Goose can become very aggressive when it comes to protecting their newborn goslings. I caught these two geese chasing off a Mallard Duck that had just happened into the area of this West Virginia River where their new young were nesting.
Teaching Their Young
In the first of these canadian goose pictures you see the goslings already following behind eating on their own. By the time summer is here they are learning the ways of the adult geese. Notice the look of these geese. The North American species of this goose have certain similar characteristics. They have a black head and neck. Under their chin you can see a white “chinstrap”. Their body feathers are usually brown in color. And their bellies are also white. The Canadian goose picture here shows a flock of Canadian Geese running for their lives. A couple of young boys are chasing them. The geese loose feathers when they are frightened. The boys were gathering goose feathers. The third image shows a single family of geese out for an afternoon stroll in the park. And the last picture looks like some family re-unions I have been to. I hope you have enjoyed your visit with these Canadian Geese Pictures. Please let me know what you think. Be sure and check back for more pictures as we shoot and grow.
