Description


The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white patches on the face, and a brown body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe. It has been introduced to Britain, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands. Like most geese, the Canada goose 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. Their success has led to them sometimes being considered a pest species because of their depredation of crops and issues with their noise, droppings, aggressive territorial behavior, and habit of begging for food, especially in their introduced range. Canada geese are also among the most commonly hunted waterfowl in North America. ___________________________________________ Bernache du Canada L’un des signes les plus sûrs du changement de saison est le vol en V caractéristique des bernaches du Canada cacardant pendant qu’elles passent au-dessus de nos têtes. Parmi les premières à arriver au Nord au printemps, elles sont parmi les dernières à partir au retour de l’hiver. Peu d’oiseaux forment des unités familiales comme la bernache du Canada. La bernache du Canada reste avec son partenaire pour la vie et les deux parents élèvent les jeunes. Les populations sont généralement à la hausse, en partie en raison de la restauration de l’habitat et en partie parce qu’elles s’adaptent à merveille à la présence de l’homme, se nourrissant de grains laissés dans les terres cultivées, nichant dans les zones urbaines et en pâturant sur les pelouses. Toutes les bernaches du Canada ont le corps grisâtre et la tête et le cou noir avec une tache blanche distinctive sur la joue, mais il existe de nombreuses races ou sous-espèces avec des différences importantes dans le poids et la taille. Les plus petites espèces sont de la taille d’un gros canard, alors que les grandes espèces peuvent peser plus de neuf kilogrammes et avoir une envergure de plus d’un mètre.

Wonderful capture and narrative, Magik!

I can see him now, laying on a bed of sticky rice, mashed potatoes and gravy, sage dressing and green-bean casserole.
