Description

Observing a small family of Canada Geese at a local pond. They had just finished eating and laid down in the grass letting me capture this beautiful moment

Taken at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina

The goslings of the Canada Goose are fluffy and yellowish, with black legs and bill
The big, black-necked Canada Goose with its signature white chinstrap mark is a familiar and widespread bird of fields and parks. Thousands of “honkers” migrate north and south each year, filling the sky with long V-formations. But as lawns have proliferated, more and more of these grassland-adapted birds are staying put in urban and suburban areas year-round, where some people regard them as pests.

During summer, and increasingly at other times of year, Canada Geese are fairly easy to see, swimming in open water, resting near shore, or grazing on lawns or farm fields. They are often heard flying above, by day or night; if you study their honks you may notice the difference by sound when other species of geese or swans are flying.
