Canada Geese Mating Ritual

During my visits to Daniel Webster Sanctuary, I was lucky enough to observe a pair of Canada Geese mating.
A few facts about Canada geese that they usually will mate for life and start breeding when they are two years old.  The pair of Canada geese would alternate dipping their heads into the water, then.  The male then mount the female and with it's bill holding the head of the female they would make.  Afterwards, the male raises his head to the sky.
