Friday Feathers
A year-round resident of New York state, the Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a large gray goose with a black neck and head and a white chin or cheek strap.
Adults will mate for many years, but only start to breed in their third year. Males often act as sentinels, standing at the edge of their group and bobbing their heads up and down, becoming very aggressive to anybody who approaches. Will hiss as if displaying displeasure.
