Quack-tastic Nest Guardians - Canada Goose Moms Take Charge in the Big Apple!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by photographer John Cancalosi, we witness a true New York City icon - the fearless female Canada Goose. Perched on her cozy nest, she proudly showcases her distinctive black head and neck, adorned with a broad white cheek that adds an elegant touch to her feathery ensemble. Known as the most common and recognizable goose species, these incredible birds choose lake shores and coastal marshes as their breeding grounds. But don't be fooled by their serene appearance! Once nesting season arrives, these fierce mamas transform into vigilant protectors of their precious eggs. With honking calls that echo through the air like a familiar symphony, our feathered friend communicates with fellow geese nearby. Whether it's warning intruders to stay away or rallying support from other guardians within commuting distance of water, this goose is not afraid to assert herself when it comes to defending her territory. While migrating both day and night across North America's vast landscapes, these pest-sized flocks can sometimes cause quite a commotion in certain areas. However, here in bustling New York City, they've found themselves right at home amidst towering skyscrapers and open fields where grazing opportunities abound. So next time you spot one of these majestic creatures waddling around Central Park or strolling along city streets like a true urbanite – remember that beneath those wings lies a determined guardian who won't hesitate to show off
