Canada geese have adaptations such as strong webbed feet for swimming in ponds and lakes, a thick layer of down feathers for insulation from the cold temperatures in deciduous forests, and a keen sense of sight and hearing to detect predators in the dense forest environment.
Geese are predominately herbivores, meaning they eat plants like grass and algae at the bottom of ponds. This year, in my area, the geese have been very fond of berries falling from trees. They can, however, eat small bugs and insects. I have even seen geese snack on tree bark!
Geese typically sleep at night on the ground near bodies of water, such as lakes or ponds, where they feel safe from predators.

During the winter months, geese typically sleep at night on the ground near bodies of water, such as lakes or ponds, where they can find safety and warmth.
