Geese migrate in order to find food. They do not eat fish or animals, so their food does not hibernate. And only some of it is in lakes, under frozen water.

On land, geese eat grasses, marsh grass, berries and seeds. In water, they eat pond plants, tubers, roots and algae. They also feed on crops like clover, alfalfa, wheat, rye, corn, barley, oats and grain left in farmers' fields after the harvest.

So, when their food supply dwindles in the fall, they move further south to warmer areas, where the food is still readily available.

"Canada geese usually start migrating south when the ground begins to freeze in the fall. The trip to the wintering grounds is a quick one-scientists have tracked geese that have flown up to 1,000 km in one day!"http://www.ducks.ca/resource/general/wet…

"Canada Geese have incredibly long migration routes. In the winter, they take up residence throughout all lower US states, from California completely across to Georgia. Many even hang out in regions of Mexico."http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art1…

However, many flocks of geese now stay in colder climates and subsist on handouts from humans who feed them throughout the winter months. I have seen geese in MN in February, with several inches of snow on the ground, and ice on all the lakes. So their migration patterns are not a good indication of when winter will arrive...it may already be here, and the geese have not yet migrated.

Why is your basic needs more important than your higher needs?

Basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and safety are essential for survival, whereas higher needs such as self-fulfillment or self-esteem are important for personal growth and well-being. Without meeting basic needs, it is difficult to focus on higher needs. In the hierarchy of needs, basic needs form the foundation on which higher needs can be built.
