Canada Geese are plentiful in the Windsor area where I lived and painted for so many years. They frequent the corn fields by day and fly overhead out to the Bay of Fundy where they spend the night away from predators. They used to fly south in December and return late summer. In recent years, some have been staying all winter. In Cape Breton where I now live, they have lots of open water and coves throughout the island. We see them year round nowadays. They always add to a composition of the shores of Loch Bras d'Or. BTW, that means "arm of gold" and refers to the valued beauty of the huge lake that occupies the central part of the island. It is a salt water lake, entering the island from the north and dividing the island into two almost equal parts. Ferry boats and one large bridge are used for crossing.
