Occurs in any open or wetland habitat. Typically in flocks or family groups. Often seen in mixed flocks with the very similar looking Cackling Goose. Canada Goose is almost always larger, longer-necked, and longer-billed than Cackling. Listen for loud honking calls, especially as flocks migrate overhead in the classic V formation. Males and females look identical, but there is a rare chance for them to be Leucistic, resulting in softer brown plumage instead of black.
