A Large Flock of Canada Geese Coming in to Land.

Canada geese are large, migratory birds that are native to North America and belong to the genus Branta. Known for their striking black heads and necks, accented by a distinctive white cheek patch, they are often spotted in flocks flying in a signature V-formation during migration.

These birds are highly adaptable and thrive in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, grasslands, and even urban areas like parks and golf courses. Their diet mainly consists of grasses, grains, and aquatic plants, though they have a reputation for being opportunistic feeders.

Interestingly, Canada geese are known for their strong family bonds. Mated pairs typically stay together for life, and both parents are heavily involved in raising their goslings. Their iconic honking calls are a form of communication, often used to signal danger or to maintain flock cohesion.
