The Canadian Goose

In the 1800's and early 1900's the Canadian Goose was over hunted and was near extinction. In the early 1960's efforts were made to protect them. I was told that Mr. Wright at Wright's dairy located near our community was asked if a small group of geese could be placed on his dairy for a winter. He agreed, the geese were relocated and remain here today. They don't fly south for the winter and they don't fly north for the summer. This northeast Florida is magical. Once you're here, no one wants to leave.

Till next time, Tweetles
