Default RE: Goose Behavior?

No idea on a book

I have have been goose hunting for 30+ years
Most of the time I can predict their behavior

But some times they still throw me for a loop

I have found

They fly before and after a storm front
If a clear night , they will fly with a good moon and then again in 12 hrs
Normaly they don't fly in heavy rain
If there is high winds they normaly will not fly , but as soon as it calms down they fly night or day if there is a moon

If cold , they will fly to a feild , feed then sleep in the feild , feed again then fly to roost late

If the wind changes direction a little from the day before , the geeses flight path may change with the wind

If they find a spot they like with water and food and not pushed off
They may stay on the feild for days and never move enpect to strech their wings
Take off , circle a time or 2 and land


If they are pressured , all bets are off

Hunt their roost and they move
Sometimes never returning the rest of the season
