Distribution and Abundance. Canada geese are the most widespread goose in North America. While there are several subspecies of Canada geese in North America, only the giant Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima), the largest subspecies, is known to breed in Illinois.The 2007 spring population estimate of giant Canada geese in Illinois is approximately 105,000. The giant Canada goose (maxima) subspecies is the most common in Illinois, and is a year round resident. 2  Canada geese fly in a V-shape formation because flying this way reduces wind resistance and helps the geese to conserve energy. 3  Canada geese mate for life but will re-mate if one of the pair dies.
