Description
This picture is of a Canada Goose on the ice of the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that i made while bicycling on a relatively warm day in January 2014.
The Canada goose is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America. Its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe. The Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.
Extremely successful at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have proven able to establish breeding colonies in urban and cultivated areas, which provide food and few natural predators, and are well known as a common park species. Their success has led to them often being considered a pest species.
