Yes, they do. They tuck their beaks under their wings and rest their heads on their backs. Their eyelids are white, so if you look at a resting goose and his/her eyes are white then they are sleeping. Canadas sleep on water for protection, so no land-based predator can get at them. But keep in mind that even with flocks that are resting or sleeping there are always a few that are still awake, protecting the family.
Canada Geese have incredibly long migration routes. In the winter, they take up residence throughout all lower US states, from California completely across to Georgia. Many even hang out in regions of Mexico.
When spring comes along and the weather gets warmer, they head north. Some stop in the top US states, from Washington through Maine. But many others continue to fly northwards, hitting the upper reaches of Alaska and the northernmost Canadian provinces.
Each goose group has its own path to take as it heads north. The paths are generally straight north-south, so pretty much every single state has geese either living in it or flying directly over it at some point during the year.
It would be a mistake to think "all geese start at point x and move together to point y". There are geese of all shapes and sizes that winter along a rather thick band of the southern US and Mexico. Some leave early and stop only a few states north, enjoying that location. Others leave late and decide to fly to the very top of Canada. Some may plan to stop in one state, find it crowded and meander along to another state. Whenever they finally end up somewhere they enjoy that has a good temperature, that is when they start laying eggs. That could be anywhere from early March to late June.
Geese are not necessarily aiming for "A Lake" that is exactly "1205.7 miles north". They simply decide it's too warm where they are, head north, and see what they see. Their decisions about when exactly to leave, how far to fly in a given day and when to stop are all based on a wide variety of factors like weather, comfortable temperature range, presence of dogs or other harassments, and so on.
As they age, if they keep finding a certain lake that is uncrowded, safe and full of food, they may aim for it in future years. But if the weather's bad or the lake's hospitality changes, they are quite happy to move on to a new spot.
The geese are definitely built for this long distance travel. They can reach up to 60mph during their flights, and can reach an altitude of 8,000 feet. They can fly at night, and can fly for up to 16 hours in a stretch.
Yes they did come from hens the name Canada Geese... WOW!!
Proper: Canadian Geese
1,234,362,20 geese in north America
that the geese were beeing killed by predators,many of the geese had become infertile, the geese were migrationg out of the area.
Canada, for Canadian Geese.
Canada geese migrate to find food. In Canada, when the grass is frozen over, the geese fly elsewhere. They fly in a V shape so every geese can get to their destination safely. They don't use magnetism or the sun to get to the destination, they use landmarks learnt by their parents or flock. Hope this helps :)
brown bears hibernate and Canadian geese migrate to the south
They dont
Yes
Brown bears hibernate, Canada geese fly south away from the winter landscape.
geese or geese from the north
Geese do not hibernate; they migrate. The migration in and of itself is instinctive, but they must learn the route.
