The Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Brooklyn, New York City is made up of a network of salt marshes, upland fields, and wooded areas. It is a home to a diverse array of bird species, including Canada geese.
Canada geese come to this Refuge in New York City during the migration season, which occurs in the fall and spring. In the Spring, they rest and feed on the grassy areas and wetlands, and use the refuge as a breeding ground, where they nests and raise their young during the summer months. During the Autumn, these birds migrate from their breeding grounds in Canada and the northern United States to the warmer climates of the southern states and Central and South America. They use the refuge as a stopping point along their migration route. The refuge provides the geese with a suitable habitat and the necessary resources so that they can make their way to their wintering grounds.
Visitors to the refuge can observe the geese as they forage for food, rest, and prepare for the next leg of their journey. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, the Canada geese can often be seen feeding in group on the surface of lakes or ponds, flying in group, sometimes in large V-shaped formations, a sight that is sure to delight birdwatchers for all.
