Branta canadensis
I was lucky enough to see one of these today at Burke Lake. It is a shame I didn't have my video camera with me, I would have loved to film this breathtaking creature. It is too hard to resist watching these birds, and I spent a whole ten minutes gazing at it (all you bird lovers out there know what I'm talking about). They can be found throughout Canada and northern United States. They mostly eat grains and vegetation, but on rare occasion will eat insects and small fish. Canadian Geese are monogamous, meaning they will stay with one partner for their entire lives.
