Yes, After the babies (called 'goslings') have hatched, the family moves away from the nesting site on foot toward more favorable feeding areas. Five weeks after the goslings hatch, the females begin moulting (the males begin right after mating). During this time, the adults are unable to fly. The adults regrow their flight feathers and are ready to fly at about the same time as the goslings are able to learn - at nine weeks old.
In autumn, as soon as the young are strong enough for the trip, they begin their migration south. They learn the migration routes from their parents and follow the same route in subsequent years.
Although an increasing number of Canada Geese are choosing to winter in Canada, especially in urban areas, the majority fly south to the United States and even Mexico.

Of course. Canada geese are great fliers. They used to migrate south in the winter and I suppose some still do. But of late with the mild winters we are having in my part of Canada ( southern Ontario ) they seem to be staying and spending the winter with us as a matter of fact they are getting so plentifull they are getting to be a major nuisance as they take over any park with a pond and poop all over the place.

Only in Canadian airspace. When they fly to the United States they are met by American Bald Eagles, to check their travel permits. And are either eaten or allowed to enter.

I lived in a migratory direction of Canadian ducks for 38 years and on no account observed any connection of the climate to their strikes. I lived on Lake Ontario and observed them swimming between ice floes in January. heat climate did no longer come for an prolonged time. Nah tell your mothers and fathers that may not too sturdy for climate forecasting.

Go to an encylopedia and look under "G" for geese. There should be an excerpt or two about them there.

NO, EINSTEIN, THEY CANNOT FLY AT ALL. THEY SIMPLY WALK SOUTH FOR THE WINTER. OR THEY BUY TICKETS ON CANADIAN AIR TO GE THEM THERE.
