Canadian Goose Migration Map

Scientists have begun tracking canadian goose flock members with satellites to see where they end up. Come share in the wide variety of places they have come and gone to!

Note that while some populations of geese do migrate, many others simply stay put. If a goose flock finds a nice location it enjoys, it may stay there year round, if the weather permits.
