About Wetlands and Conservation

One of the most well known of all waterfowl, the Canada Goose is the most common of all wild goose species kept in captivity and is often seen in the wild. In some parts of the US, the Canada Goose has become a nuisance with large numbers congregating in city parks and golf courses. The wild range is large, breeding from the Aleutian Islands south into the United States. Canada Geese are also year round, breeding residents in many southern states and has been introduced into Britain, parts of Europe and New Zealand.
Canada Geese are not picky when it comes to breeding. Nests are either made on the ground close to water or in tubs placed on the water. The breeding season begins in early April, when the pair seeks out a spot for the hen to lay her clutch of six to ten eggs. Incubation is done solely by the hen, with the gander standing guard nearby. Incubation lasts 28 days, and the little goslings are cared for by both parents. Although the goslings are able to fly at two months of age, they remain together as a family group during migration and through the Winter. Breeding and egg laying occurs in the spring of the year. The Aleutian Canada Goose is monogamous and mating pairs remain faithful until one of the partners die. Both parents take responsibility in building the nest and caring for the young. The incubation period is 24-26 days. The clutch size is usually between 4-6 eggs. The nest is normally built in inland meadows or marshes, sometimes near inlets, and in bushy habitat near the sea. B. c. leucopareia makes a nest by scraping a depression, then incorporating dry grass, other herbaceous plants, moss, sticks, and aquatic vegetation.
Branta canadensis leucopareia has a black head and neck marked with distinctive white cheek patches that are generally separated by a black band on the chin. It has a paler breast than the more common B. canadensis. The Aleutian Canada Goose is distinguished by a white neck ring, abrupt forehead, and a short bill. In flight, B. c. leucopareia shows large, dark wings, white undertail coverts, and a white U-shaped rump band.
