Migration
-
Migration season is October through March.
-
Migratory geese flight range can be 2 – 3 thousand miles.
-
Migratory geese do not become resident geese unless they are
injured. -
Resident geese do not know how to migrate.
-
Resident geese can fly long distances as their migratory cousins, but generally have learned that it is not necessary.
