Beginning of my life started out

days till i am able to fly. We
love to eat the grass and grain
there.

TAKES US ABOUT 5,000 TO After i am able to fly and travel to
TRAVEL FROM NESTING inland and coastal areas I
GROUNDS migrated to pennsylvania for
spring and summer. I live in
middle creek where many of my ME AS A TEEN SNOW GOOSE
family and friends live during
those seasons. We love fields ad
shallow lakes during this time.

WHEN WE MIGRATE population

We tend to migrate in between
seasons because of weather
changes. Jan-march is are
prime time to migrate.

During fall we like to migrate to the arctic
tundra but many other snow geese like to live
in places like coastal marshes, bays,wet
grasslands,and fields, during this time I am
becoming an adult and growing up to be able to
produce my own children.
