I call this the "Infamous Oregon Tree Goose," because it just made me laugh to see a Canada Goose in a tree. Their flat, webbed feet and their large, hard-to-maneuver bodies just don't seem to be built for waddling around in trees! This is the only place I think I've seen them do that. This is probably the Western subspecies of Canada Goose.
