General Description: Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) are sexually monomorphic. The body is brown except for the white belly; the long neck, head, and bill are black, and the chin is white. The outside of the eyelids are white, so it looks like the eyes are open when the bird is sleeping.

Favored Habitat: Ponds and marshes. Also stubble fields.

Where to Find: Neighborhood ponds, parks (e.g., Lorenzi Park and Sunset Park), Floyd Lamb State Park, and the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. To find them in more natural habitat, visit the Pahranagat Valley or the Overton Wildlife Management Area.
