Branta canadensis

Common Names:
Habitat:
Description: Black head and neck with white "chinstrap". Seven subspecies of this bird, of varying sizes and plumage details, but all are recognizable as Canada Geese. This species is 90-100 cm long with a 160-175 cm wing span. Males weigh 3.5-6.5 kg, (8-14 pounds), and can be very aggressive in defending territory. The female looks virtually identical but is slightly lighter at 3-5.5 kg (7-12 pounds), and has a different honk.

Comments: It is naturally migratory, the wintering range being most of the US. The calls overhead from large groups of Canada Geese flying in V-shaped formation signal the transitions into spring and autumn.
