The Canada Goose: Close Up HD Footage (Branta canadensis)

The Canada Goose, with the scientific name Branta canadensis, is a hefty wild goose species. It's easily identified by its black head and neck contrasted with brown body feathers and white cheek patches. Their breeding grounds stretch across Canada into the northern United States. Come autumn, these geese migrate in V-formations to wintering grounds in the southern US and Mexico. They're known for their unmistakably loud honking calls. Canada Geese are lifelong mated pairs that stick together in large flocks. They construct nests on the ground near water sources, which they vigilantly defend. Although protected, they've adapted so well to urban areas that they're considered a nuisance in some places.
