I googled "why do geese fly at night?" and found a moderately interesting article about Canada Geese, specifically, at https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2018/03/01/why-do-canadian-geese-fly-at-night/amp/

TL;DR: reduced air turbulence, reduced risk of overheating, and reduced risk of predation.

That article didn't mention their eyesight, but I found another site that says Canada geese don't see in the dark as well as cats do, but they do it twelve times better than humans!: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mercurynews.com/2013/11/05/morris-nighttime-geese-flights/amp/

So, now we both know! 😊
