Description

A family of Canada geese was seen at the Holiday Park, Bloomington, IL. Canada geese breed only once a year during the months of March, April or May. These new goslings were seen in late May. According to the GeeseRelief, it was interesting to know that, "The female chooses a mate based on his displays and how well she believes he can protect her. Canada geese are monogamous and mate for life. If one of the pair dies, the surviving goose will mourn and may eventually find another mate."
