“Few men have souls so dead that they will not bother to look up when they hear the barking of wild Geese.”
—Roger Tory Peterson
How To Know The Birds. 1949.
This was the first sentence in the section of the book on geese. Nicely stated Roger.
In How To Know The Birds, Peterson had this to say in his opening sentence about the Canada goose: “This is the ‘wild goose’ that everyone knows, the big ‘honker’ whose V, pointing like a compass-needle to the north, marks the coming of spring.”
There are always some Canadian geese here in the Willamette Valley throughout the year.
