ROCHESTER, N.Y. — If you’ve noticed geese flying in the wrong direction this fall, you’re not alone. This is the time of year when some birds head south to warmer temperatures for the winter, but one of you reached out to us when you noticed geese flying north.
John asked: “Why are the geese flying north instead of flying south? I watch them fly north every day.”
News10NBC brought this question to June Summers, president of the Genesee Valley Audubon Society. She confirmed that Canada geese are flying north this time of year. That’s because these geese do not migrate. Turns out they’re not confused and they’re not seeking warmer temperatures. They live here year-round.
If you see them flying north, they’re likely heading to their favorite place to find food – typically a corn field or other large field. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation says there are about 200,000 Canada geese across the state, a number that’s steadily growing thanks to milder, more favorable conditions. The population is protected and managed by federal and state agencies.
Areas outside of Rochester sometimes see snow geese, which do migrate south in the fall. However, the spring migration tends to be larger than the fall migration and they never use the same route to go north and south.
