Seasonal migration

Also known as Canada Geese, members of the species Branta canadensis are known for their V-shaped flight formation and seasonal migrations (the honking of large flocks overhead marks the transition into spring and autumn in the Arctic and temperate North America). Once threatened by over-hunting and loss of habitat, the geese have proven remarkably adaptable to human-altered areas (e.g. golf courses, parks and beaches) and are now the most common waterfowl species in N.A.
