I've been told these are Canadian Geese, stopping off on their flight south. Anybody confirm this? (Careful where you sit...)

I can't confirm their travel plans.; October 23, 2007 at 12:05 PM
Anonymous said...: Actually the are Canada Geese. You were close but for some reason they aren't Canadian, just Canada. My grandmother was a real stickler about this...; October 23, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Anonymous said...: They are indeed "Canada Geese", though probably not "Canadian Geese". There is a resident population in BBPark that doesn't seem to migrate. Global warming + easy access to handouts = year-round resident geese.; October 23, 2007 at 1:12 PM
