Canada Goose Dot-to-Dot

The Canada goose is a large water bird with a black head and neck, white cheek patch, brown body, and strong wings. Many people say "Canadian goose," but the common species name is Canada goose.

Canada geese live near ponds, lakes, rivers, marshes, fields, and parks. They eat grasses, aquatic plants, grains, and other plant foods. Many migrate in V-shaped flocks, though some populations stay in the same area year-round.

Canada geese are familiar birds across much of North America. Their loud calls, family groups, and migrating flocks make them one of the easiest water birds to recognize.

They also show how adaptable wildlife can be. Some Canada geese use wild wetlands, while others live near parks, golf courses, ponds, and neighborhoods where grass and water are easy to find.
