The book is very good. It's a real gem for wildfowl enthusiasts. For us here in Germany it is quite hard to get good books on wildfowl. That is the reason why I ordered the book in the US.

The book gives a good impression on this species. Furthermore, it clearly shows the work invested and the time spent by the author to collect all the data.

In Europe the Canada Goose was introduced in the 17th century for game sport reasons. Starting in the UK it spread all over Europe. Nowadays it's a common species on dams, reservoirs and public park ponds. Sometimes the geese are very tame and they are ,therefore, a delight for children and elderly people who often feed them in these parks.

Although we do not have the Giant Canada Goose here in Europe the book gives a good overview on the species behaviour. I am a wildfowl photographer and book helps me to understand their behaviour during the year.

The book was good only there were a few things left out.The Giant Canada goose has a white bar across it's face,ther are 11 subspecies(one being extinct).The cackler is the smallest of all,Aleutian is endangered,geese in the US dont fly south,they fly to the Northwest corner of the US and Canada,geese fom Canada fly south to the same area,other than that the book was great!!!I would love to meet and work with "Branta" sometime...

Well it was very good and I hope you make lots more. I think it was beatiful!!!
