Incoming Canada Geese
Our skies and waters are beginning to show the early arrivals of the thousands of migrating Canada Geese that will come to spend the fall and winter on Maryland’s Eastern Shore farms and marshes.
Canada Geese
Did you know?
Canada Geese pair up and mate for life. That’s goose commitment!
The Canadians as I call them sometimes are so beautiful in flight, they remind me of airliners! That sleek and beautiful shape the birds have. Great photos Donna! ❤️😎
Thank you, John! I think they are beautiful in flight too and love looking closely at my photos to see the goose expressions and their glide. There can be a little comedy found sometimes! 🙂
They crack me up. They’re the nosiest bird of all. I think they’re the lookout wherever they go or are.
Great series, Donna!
Thank you, Deborah! They can be quite comical, their loudness and boldness, I just make sure one doesn’t have the chance to chase and ‘goose’ me! 😉
Oh, LOL!!! That’s funny.
Great flight shots Donna, I hope they do not become to aggressive to other wildlife.
Thank you, Ashley! In our area, the migrants go to the vast fields and marshes, stay out in the open, mind their own business, no bother to other wildlife. Their main thing is to find food and stay alive during the hunting season.
Gorgeous shots, Donna. In the last photo, they look like fighter jets in a mission.
Thank you, Sylvia! I love when they are moving in formation, very much like on a mission. They do work as a team for sure!
I hear them sometimes while they fly by. Great shots, my friend. 🙂
Thank you, HJ! 🙂
We have got migrating geese here too. I could hear some on a recent bike ride but couldn’t see them so it was good to see your excellent pictures.
Thank you, Tom! I enjoy listening to them honk. Esp. when one thinks he’s really got something to say, lol.
We see them on the move daily😏. I’ll miss them. Nice photos Donna!
Thank you, Belinda! All these birds on the move means it’s going to get cold….they are so smart! 🙂
I love your post! All of them. 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Yeah, we can look forward to goose poop and goose cacophony! 🙂
LOL both can be a lot!! 😏
We get Canadian geese in the top end of Australia too. Beautiful birds.
They are beautiful. 🙂
I’m still waiting for our geese to make an appearance in our cove. But when they do it is quite noisy, so I’ll just be happy to wait. Great pictures though – thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Susan, yes they can get quite loud. Soon as one starts and the others follow the honking, a good chance they are getting ready to take flight! 🙂
Such beautiful birds! I can imagine there are some “negatives” that come along🙂 but it must be wonderful to have these visitors stop by❤️
Thank you, Takami! Yes, they can be a big nuisance and destroy farm land….but I still enjoy seeing them. They are a funny bird at times! 🙂

I often wonder why the Canada Goose is so successful a species vs. others that aren’t as plentiful. Perhaps it is their adaptability and ease around humans.
Squadrons of them have been stopping to overnight and glean the corn field across the river from us. Drives the dog crazy, but I love hearing and seeing them honking over the house. Wish I could head south with them!
I think you’re right, I suspect too it’s the abundant farm fields and marshes that feed them well. And, of course, there’s safety in large numbers with the few predators that they do have. We do have a heavy population of migratory geese, even with the hunting seasons each winter that allows large numbers to be bagged daily.
Oh, I can imagine how your dog would just love to be able to chase after them. Good for him to let them know they’re not welcomed on his property! 🙂
Nice Donna! They should give you lots of photo opportunities!
Thank you, Reed, for sure!
