CONSIDER THE CANADA GOOSE
by Julie Lavender
The
first time I saw a Canada goose, I was way way above the Mason Dixon Line. One
of the first times my range had extended that far.
Canada
geese – adaptable, majestic-looking with their black head sitting atop a long
black neck contrasted by a stark white chinstrap band – are now found in every
contiguous state in the United States and Canada province at one season of the
year or another.
However,
that wasn’t the case several decades ago, before they began migrating as far
as my little corner of the world, south-Georgia. When I was a little girl, I’d
only seen Canada geese in books or on television.
Of
course, there was much I’d only seen on television.
