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.

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).
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.
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.
