Canada Goose

Question. At what age does a juvenile Canada Goose reach adult size? When fledged, what size is it in comparison to an adult?

[Gordo]

The ones I see daily are just a little smaller than their parents by the time they've lost their baby feathers & are sporting adult plumage (although I'm not 100% that they can actually fly at that point.)
According to Wikipedia they're fledged around 6-9 weeks

I took a picture today of a canadian goose nesting in an osprey nest at the top of a telephone pole. Has anyone ever witnessed a goose nesting that high in the air? The babies will break their necks jumping out of that nest!  cif 083.JPG   98.77K   8 downloads
