Branta canadensis

Information about the Canada Geese:

The Canada or Canadian Geese is a wild goose belonging to the genus Branta. These widely distributed birds are native to the arctic and temperate regions of North America. Their range stretches into areas of western Europe and eastern parts of Japan and Siberia. These large birds (30-43 inches long, 7-12 pounds with a wingspan of upwards of six feet) are found in a variety of habitats such as lakes, streams, ponds as well as farmlands and urban and suburban areas. They are adept at exploiting areas altered by humans and in some cities are considered a nuisance species. Due to over hunting and habitat loss the species was in serious decline during the first part of the 20th century, but the species has since recovered and is flourishing in many areas.
