One of the most common types of geese in the upper-midwest and Great Lakes regions is the Canada goose. It is a large goose who likes lakes, ponds, fields, and golf courses.
Interestingly enough, the plural of Canada goose is Canada geese (not Canadian geese). The ornithologists did not talk to the grammar experts before putting out the common name of this bird.
A great Canada goose movie is called Fly Away Home. It is an inspirational birding movie where a father and daughter lead a flock of Canada geese from Ontario to the south-eastern United States with ultralight planes. It's based off of real life experiments in which whooping cranes were led on their first migration with ultralights.
This birding blog covers my birding adventures in my home state of Minnesota and beyond.
