For most American birders, the fun and pride behind a CBC (Christmas Bird Count) is without a doubt one of the highlights of the year, this is even more so if you get manage to be the lucky birder that finds that one rare bird that a report needs to be written for, but would you be as excited if that golden bird turned out to be a Canada Goose ?

Normally, I don’t look forward to seeing the Canada Geese on the lake near my Florida home. The post Springtime in Canada Geese Country appeared first on 10,000 Birds. There are too many for the size of the water body, and they don’t migrate. Did I mention they’re loud and a bit aggressive?

“Oh, sweet Canada, Canada, Canada” is perhaps the best-best known of birdsong mnemonics in North America, familiar to birders as an aid to remembering the voice of the White-throated Sparrow ( Zonotrichia albicollis ). Canada is a pretty sweet place – and not just because of all that maple syrup its vast forests produce.

On the other hand, the Canada Geese have both safety in numbers and famously aggressive personalities. Only two cranes stood to take on the dozen or so Canada Geese, and from my vantage point it looked like the latter had the upper hand, hissing and wagging their tails if the larger birds got close.

The Canada Goose sits on its nest of pine cones. With so much to look at, you wouldn’t think my eyes would be drawn to a pine cone nest on the ground, complete with a Canada Goose parent shielding her delicate eggs from the nearby antelope species. The Canada Geese (on the right side) show no fear. Where were the babies?

In order to offset the loss of the seal product market in Europe, Canada has made a deal with China. I'm not surprised. China as a whole still doesn't have a national conscience about these issues. Although 40 Chinese animal rights groups have protested, they don't really have any political or financial clout to change anything.

Canada Geese are a nuisance. It is not the fault of Canada Geese that they have become a trash bird. The released birds had no urge to migrate and discovered that suburbia, with vast expanses of yummy grass and a plethora of ponds, lakes, and water hazards, was paradise for a Canada Goose. That is really a shame.

I like Canada. I'm an American, but I grew up seeing Noltan Nash, the Beachcombers and Hockey Night in Canada on the TV. You can go on and on about tradition, but just because something is old doesn't make it good. Slavery used to be a tradition in some societies. On environmental and animal issues, not so much.

It returned last year with a small flock of Canada Geese and then again this year with a much bigger flock, nearing 150, that contained more oddities. But then compare the size of it against the Canada Geese. It is far bigger than a Canada Goose whilst it should be noticeably smaller (even a Greater should be lesser).
