This bird contributes to popular sporting game, outerwear and bedding made of their feathers. They are indigenous to North America about the wetlands - lakes, bays, rivers, and marshes - and feed upon aquatic plants and food from mud and silt. They also feed in open fields and grasslands. A large long neck, black bill, white throat patch extending up to the cheek, brown back (wings and flank), white underbelly, and the distinctive "honk" distinguishes the Canadian Goose.
Common misspellings are Canadian Goose, Canadian Geese..
