Canadian Geese

By

Early spring 2015, a flock of Canadian Geese flies to the pond as the WooFPAK Free Ranges. When you hear the sounds of geese you know the season is changing. Due to over-hunting and loss of habitat in the late 19th century and early 20th century had resulted in a serious decline in the numbers of this bird in its native range. The giant Canada goose subspecies was believed to be extinct in the 1950s until, in 1962, a small flock was discovered wintering in Rochester, Minnesota. I was surprise to learn that there are at least 11 subspecies! Geese in the north are smaller in size and geese in the west are darker in color.
