In my yard late winter 09’ playing in the puddles, enjoying life~ / / Canada Goose Facts / • Life expectancy about 20 years / • Weight: 20-25 pounds / • Migration is a learned process / • Migratory geese flight range 2 – 3 thousand miles / • Resident geese flight range: 100 –200 miles to find food, water, and safety. / • Resident geese can fly long distances as their migratory cousins, but generally have learned that it is not necessary. / • Migratory geese do not become resident geese unless they are injured. / • Mating season: February to March / • Geese mate for life and will stay together during all seasons. / • Geese will find a new mate if mate dies or is killed. / • Migratory geese nest in Canada. / • Geese nesting in the U.S. are “resident” geese who were born here. / • Resident geese were imported to the area for rebuilding dwindling numbers for conservation or hunting. The urban nuisance was not anticipated. / • Nesting Season: Mid March to mid May / • Age of geese when they begin to nest: 3 years / • Geese return to the general area of their birth each year to mate and nest. Sometimes the exact site, sometimes a nearby pond or other body of water. / • The instinct to return to their general area or birth is very strong. / • Migratory geese fly 2,000–3,000 miles to return to these sites. / • Resident geese do not know how to migrate. / • When geese are chased from their traditional nesting area or the nesting area has too many nesting pairs, they find alternative sites to nest … sometimes farther from water, sometimes in nearby ponds, sometimes on rooftops or balconies. They will hide their nests. / • Geese prefer isolated sites near water to nest. Islands are their favorite location. / • Nests are usually on the ground, in the open. / • Sometimes geese nest in brushy or swampy areas not subject to flooding. / • When egg laying begins the “Father” goose will stand sentinel watch nearby, but not so close as to give away location of nest to a predator. When a solitary goose is seen during nesting season a nest is somewhere in the vicinity. / • The eggs in a nest are called a “clutch” / • Average number of eggs in a nest: 5 / • Mother goose lays 1 egg approximately 1_ days apart until full clutch is obtained. / • Eggs not being incubated are cool to the touch. / • Mother goose waits until all eggs are laid before she begins to sit on nest to incubate eggs / • Incubation time: 28 – 30 days / • Undeveloped eggs (still fluid) will sink or float vertically with the wider portion of the egg pointing down. / • Developed eggs will float horizontally or at a slight angle and break the surface of the water. At that point they are one to two weeks away from hatching. / • All geese eggs in a single clutch hatch on approximately the same day / • Baby geese are called “goslings”. / • Natural predators of geese are foxes, raccoons, owls and snapping turtles / • Goslings can fly approximately 2-3 months after hatching. / • During June adult geese lose wing feathers and are unable to fly. This is called molting. / • Molting season runs from early June to late July. / • Geese can fly again approximately 6 weeks after molting. / • Generally by early August all geese (except injured geese) are able to fly. / • During the molt geese need to be near water (any water) for easy escape from predators. The molting area needs an easily accessible food supply. /
