Up here on the north shore of the Detroit River we call them Canadian Geese. We don't want them to forget who owns them and where they belong.

Well, David, you know what's coming, don't you?

I'm not actually going ot rant about my feelings toward the vicious,
smelly, park-pooping, child-scaring beasts.  I think I've made my
position crystal clear WRT these vermin.

All I wish to say is that there is no species of bird called a
"Canadian Goose".  All geese in Canada (regardless of species) are
Canadian Geese.

The fowl to which we refer at this time is a Canada Goose.

That's all...

cheers,
frank
