Did you realize that geese don't divorce?
When I visit the Kootenai National Wildlife, Smith Creek/Boundary Creek Refuge or walk along the Kootenai River I am aware of the presence of Canada geese. Even if you don’t see them right away you know they are in the area by their continuous honking. This past spring, I saw the spring hatching of the young goslings and watched them grow with their families throughout the summer.
