Naming of Geese
- Share via
In a map of the proposed wildlife area in our Sepulveda Basin (Oct 26), you made reference to “Canadian” geese.
Please be informed that they are Canada geese unless, of course, they are actually from Canada, in which case they would be Canadian Canada geese.
There are actually three forms of the Canada goose: the cackling Canada, lesser Canada and western Canada. I’m not sure, but I think the ones we get are the lesser variety.
