Around here they find open water wherever they can. But I'm close to the Chesapeake and its tributaries the salinity makes some areas hard to freeze over.
But geese do not roost in trees, and they do not spend the night in the fields around here.
I'm fairly close to the mouth of the Chesapeake so I am sure they go there. I saw massive flocks of snow geese and Canadian geese flying over my house today. They spent a lot of time in my neighbor's field and then at dusk flew in the direction of the bay.
