Summary[edit]

Description

Fall migration

The Canada Geese at Andrew Haydon Park were very active this weekend. Large groups were continuously flying in and out of the park’s ponds and once there, gathering on large flocks whereupon lots of seated wing flapping and noise making occurred. There was a restlessness in their behaviour, and to even the most casual observer, it was clear that something had energized the group.

For Canada Geese, “peak fall migration occurs in September and October. During this period, Canada Geese relocate to a broad range of habitats from low Arctic tundra to prairies, lakes, meadows, golf courses and city parks. If open water and food are available, many geese will remain over winter on northern territories. Some populations that do migrate are not going as far south in the winter as they used to. This northward range shift has been attributed to changes in farm practices that make waste grain more available in fall and winter, as well as changes in hunting pressure and changes in weather.”
