Canada Goose

Branta canadensis

Description:

A wild goose with a distinct black neck, brown body, and white patches. They are gregarious, hanging out large flocks.

Habitat:

These guys are familiar characters around Toronto. Most of Canada, and parts of the States actually. But they are not as common around this time of the year.

Notes:

There was probably around a hundred of them just hanging out on the golf course. Used to their fearless nature, I approached fairly close... but then as if on cue, they all just got up and flew away.
