This afternoon Sharon and I were in Unionville, ON to help set up a juried art show being put on by Bayview Watercolour Society, to which we both belong. We each have three paintings in the show. After finishing with the show we went to Toogood Park in Unionville to see what birds might be there. We came across several pairs of Canada Geese with there newly hatched goslings.
Canada Geese mate for life and pairs remain together throughout the year. Generally the female builds the nest and incubates the eggs, while the male stands guard. Baby geese or goslings begin communicating with their parents while still in the egg. Once the goslings hatch, both parents raise them. They usually stay with the parents for a year after they hatch.
