Several species of waterbirds, including Mallard, Moorhen and the Canada Goose have been seen on and around the pond.

Local wildlife include moose, white-tailed Deer, American Black Bear, beaver, loon, muskrat, otter, Canada Goose, and lynx, to name but a few.

Two other restricted-range races occur in northern North America: A. a. gambeli in interior northwest Canada, and wintering on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, slightly larger than the nominate form, and Tule Goose, A. a. elgasi, in southwest Alaska, largest and longest-billed of all, wintering in California.

The smaller subspecies, the Lesser Snow Goose ( C. c. caerulescens ), lives from central northern Canada to the Bering Straits area.

The larger subspecies, the Greater Snow Goose ( C. c. atlanticus ), nests in northeastern Canada.

Rare hybrids with the Greater White-fronted Goose, Canada Goose, and Cackling Goose have been observed.

For the most part American vocabulary, phonology and syntax are used, to various extents, in Canada ; therefore many prefer to refer to North American English rather than American English.

Due in part to the interbreeding of various migratory subspecies with the introduced non-migratory Giant subspecies, Canada Geese are frequently a year-around feature of such urban environments.

In North America, non-migratory Canada Goose populations have been on the rise.

In many areas, non-migratory Canada Geese are now regarded as pests by humans.

Approximately 130, 000 Pacific Black Brant, 62, 000 Emperor Geese, 50, 000 Taverner's Canada Geese, 300, 000 ducks, and 80, 000 shore birds stop over in the Izembek area during migration and as many as 50, 000 Steller's Eiders find winter grounds there.

This upper Tanana Valley has been called the " Tetlin Passage " because it serves as a major migratory route for birds traveling to and from Canada, the Lower 48 and both Central and South America.

At Festival Park, the one-hundred to two-hundred or so resident birds ( which include virtually-flightless domesticated birds, swans, mallards and Canada geese that cannot or do not migrate, and hybrids of all types ) that live at the lake year round, as well as migrant Canada geese and mallards, have stripped the shoreline and land of most vegetation, resulting in erosian, and have turned the shallow lake below the dam into little more than a muddy broth of bacteria.

It is a refuge for migratory birds from Canada, the U. S. and other regions of Mexico, including the red-tailed falcon, the Harris falcon, wild ducks, geese, and others.

Snow Geese often travel and feed alongside Greater White-fronted Geese ; in contrast, the two tend to avoid travelling and feeding alongside Canada Geese, which are often heavier birds.

Occasionally, a wild bird will appear in the Northeastern United States or Canada, but care must be taken to separate out wild birds from escaped individuals, as Barnacle Geese are popular waterfowl with collectors.

In August 2007, the Atlantic Puffin was proposed as the official symbol of the Liberal Party of Canada by its deputy leader Michael Ignatieff, after he observed a colony of these birds and became fascinated by their behaviour.

However, autumn sightings from ships suggest that some birds cross the North Atlantic directly from Canada and Greenland to southwest Europe ( a distance of up to 2500 km ).

Transoceanic journeys also occur: a bird that was caught and ringed in Labrador, Canada, was shot by a hunter in England nine days later, and Japanese-ringed birds have been recovered from six US states east to Utah and Mississippi.

In 1997, an estimated 1. 5 million water birds, the majority being Northern Pintails, died from avian botulism during two outbreaks in Canada and Utah.

The old " Lesser Canada Goose " was believed to be a partly hybrid population, with the birds named taverneri considered a mixture of minima, occidentalis and parvipes.

The birds breeding along the Arctic Ocean coast migrate via Canada and the Great Lakes region to winter at the Atlantic coast of the USA, mainly from Maryland to South Carolina, but some move as far south as Florida.

Asa result of a growing national focus towards saving the birds, the organization was renamed Bird Studies Canada in 1998.

The Platte is in the middle of the Central Flyway, a primary North-South corridor for migratory birds from their summer nesting grounds in the north ( Alaska and Canada ), south for the winter, and the return in the spring.

There was a reliable report of 23 birds in Texas in 1981, and more recent additional unconfirmed reports from Texas, Canada ( 1987 ), Argentina ( 1990 ), and Nova Scotia ( 2006 ).

These birds migrate to the United States or southern Canada to spend the winter.
