Anyone understand Canadien Geese

Just joking with you Bill. It's just one of those errors in common names of waterfowl that us biologist-types love to give people a hard time about. All in good humor.
 
Geese will roost on still bodies of water (lakes, ponds, and salt). Birds generally leave in the morning to go feed in fields (corn, beans, turf, rye etc..). Most birds in my area leave to feed between 7:30 and 9:00am, but this depends on the light levels, temperature, and time of year. If its cloudy the birds may leave later, and if its really cold the birds will generally stay on the roost later. If you have temps between 0 and 20 degrees, then you may find the birds staying on water, or trading back and forth between water, as the water is warmer than the air.
Try to find fields to hunt birds in or glass to see if you can find where birds are loafing or roosting, and try to get there before them.
Hope it helps,

Thank you everyone - great stuff and I am appreciative of the advice. No offense taken Carl, just trying to keep everyone on task. You have all confirmed what I was thinking but not confident I knew what I was talking about. This is a great website.

Now on to my next question - mud motors - look for that post next
 
is indicative of your newness to the site....stick around and you'll learn that while we'll almost always "eventually" answer a question we never miss the opportunity to get "off task" and have some fun......no matter how serious the question, and often because of that, you'll see alot of "off tasking" here.....its a lot of what makes the plae so much fun...
