The image of a Black Brant Goose FG 2342 leading a V formation flock, as captured by Francois Gohier, reminds us of their incredible migratory journeys. In Muriel Dawson's masterpiece "The Goose Girl, " we witness the tender bond between humans and these magnificent creatures. And who can forget the enchanting sight of Pink-footed Geese Anser brachyrhynchus gracing North Norfolk during winter? The historic pub "Goose and Gridiron" echoes with tales shared over pints while admiring Lawson Wood's humorous portrayal in "Fat Geese. " These birds bring joy even during festive seasons like Christmas Is Coming, beautifully depicted by Cecil Aldin. Grumman G-21 JRF-1 Goose takes us on an adventure across waterways, showcasing its versatility as a light transport vehicle. Meanwhile, Rick Halcott's Snow Goose hunting expedition in Nebraska highlights our deep connection with nature.
