Summary

These days, you can find Canada geese in huge flocks on lawns and even in parking lots in many parts of North America. Because these geese sometimes make a mess and take shelter in public places, many people think of them as pests. The Canada Goose explores the bird's life cycle, showing how human activity and climate changes have affected migration patterns and given these geese good reasons to live in record-breaking numbers right in our backyards.
