Visitors from Canada

These days one will see Canadian geese just about everywhere. I love to see them fly in big pflogs above me and hearing the sounds they make. Wikipedia says: This well-known species is native to North America. It breeds in Canada and the northern United States in a variety of habitats. However, its nest is usually located in an elevated area near water, sometimes on a beaver lodge. Its eggs are laid in a shallow depression lined with plant material and down. The Great Lakes region maintains a very large population of Canada Geese. Like most geese, the Canada goose is naturally migratory with the wintering range being most of the United States. The calls overhead from large groups of Canada Geese flying in V-shaped formation signal the transitions into spring and autumn.
