A Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) looking for food on a partially frozen pond in Massachusetts. This species is native to North America. It breeds in Canada and the northern United States in a variety of habitats. Canada Geese are also found naturally on the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Siberia, eastern China, and throughout Japan. They have reached northern Europe naturally, as has been proved by ringing recoveries.Photo credit: Eric Baetscher
