What do the Canada geese that arent old enough to nest do during the spring and summer?
One and two year old geese, also referred to as nonbreeding geese, often return to the general area where they first learned to fly for a few weeks early in the spring, but then they often move on exploring new habitat. Many of these nonbreeders wander north, some as far north as Manitoba and the shore of Hudson Bay, where they join other groups of nonbreeding geese to molt. After wandering for 2 years, the female geese still return to their natal area when they start to nest.
