Description

Flock of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) in flight, Lower Klamath/Tule Lake, Northern California - Black and white - monochrome. You may be also interested in the color version of this photo (see my Birds gallery).

The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is a large wild species with a black head and neck, white patches on the face, and a brown body. Native to arctic and temperate North America, its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe. It has been introduced to Britain, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile and the Falkland Islands. It is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.

Extremely successful at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have proven able to establish breeding colonies in urban and cultivated areas, which provide food and few natural predators, and are well known as a common park species. They are among the most commonly hunted waterfowl in North America. They sometimes pose serious flight safety hazards at airports.
