CANADA GOOSE
This contemporary version and stylized goose in flight shows the obvious white cheek-patch of the Canada Goose. It is canada's Goose but this prolific bird is now not uncommon in Europe and many other countries around the world.
In Alaska during a summer visit I was invited to participate with State Biologists n to 'herd' thousands of Canada Geese into fenced enclosures in lakes around the Anchorage Airport and Elmendorf Air force Base. The Geese are examined to determine their gender to permit the Biologists to 'sex' the birds and calculate flock increases from the egg count. Some eggs are removed to keep this prolific bird population under control to avoid danger to aircraft activity nearby.
