 * Canada geese usually start migrating south when the ground begins to freeze in the fall. Spring migration is a different story. Starting in late winter, the geese make several stops along the way to feed and rest before reaching their breeding grounds throughoutCanada. **
 * By flying in a V it helps them to use less energy because each bird shares the air current created by the wings of the bird in front of it. As they fly, they call to each other with loud honks. **
