Photos of the Week - Canada Goose

Although they are named for Canada, Canada geese are found all over North America at various times of the year. In the summer, Canada geese make their homes throughout most of Canada, Alaska and the northern United States.

In the winter, most Canada geese seek warmer climates. While many do winter in southern Canada, most make their way to the mid and southern United States. Some even go the extra mile and fly all the way to northern Mexico!

One of the surest signs that the season is changing is the familiar “v-shaped” flock of Canada geese honking away as they fly overhead on the migration.
