"If you feel the urge, don't be afraid to go on a wild goose chase. What do you think wild geese are for anyway?" - Will Rogers

     Interested in learning about a noisy animal in your neighborhood? Here is the place. Imagine yourself sitting on your porch, loving life and relaxing. All of a sudden, you look up and see a flock of geese flying in a V formation. Or, picture yourself playing golf and being stopped by a flock grazing on the green next to the hole.
    These beautiful yet sometimes annoying geese are very common in Northern America and Canada, and this is partly where their species name, Branta canadensis, came into effect. In Latin, Branta, the genus, means largely black plumage. The specific epithet, canadensis, means Canada. Branta canadensis is also more commonly known as the Canadian goose. This is because the Canadian goose spends its summers in Northern America and Canada and is recognized by its black or dark grey feathers.
