Usually
located in an elevated area near water. A shallow depression lined with plant material and down. They feed mainly on plant material. When feeding in water, they submerge their heads and necks to reach aquatic plants. Black head and neck with white "chinstrap" with brownish body plumage. 30 - 43 in. 50 - 71 in. During the second year of their lives, Canada Geese find themselves a mate. The female lays 4-8 eggs with both parents protecting the nest while the eggs incubate. During that time, they lose their flight feathers, so that they cannot fly until after their eggs hatch. This period lasts for 25 - 28 days. 2 - 8. Creamy White |
