Canada geese are found throughout North America.  They range from the Arctic circle in Alaska and Canada to the southern tip of Texas and northern Mexico.  Each of the 12 populations are located in particular regions, the northern parts of the regions being the spring breeding grounds, the southern parts of the regions being the wintering grounds, and the middle parts being the migration corridors.  However, not all Canada geese migrate.
