Barbara Klide epub Along Came Ryan, the Little Gosling King Volume III, Free the Geese (B and W version)

At its core, the Along Came Ryan...the Little Gosling King collection is a true-life saga-a love story about a beautiful, noble, caring, and immensely lovable mated pair of Canada geese, Hawkeye and Mother Goose. Where Volume III-Free the Geese begins, it had been over six months since we'd last seen them. We had previously learned that they are philopatric, derived from the Greek "home loving" or returning to the same site. That meant that the mated pair could return to our fully-enclosed business courtyard and that is just what they did. We were two weeks into the year; a cold rain was pouring down non-stop when our friends finally appeared and it was nothing short of magical. But why were the geese fenced in and where did they disappear to when they were unable to fly? All of that is revealed in this charming, wonderfully heartwarming book which promotes appreciation and awareness of the natural world we share. It is packed with in-depth Canada Goose information and interesting facts for further study and enjoyment from the National Geographic, National Audubon Society, California Rice Commission, and others. Kirkus Review, American Book Review publisher, NYC: "...a delightful mix of straightforward information and expressions of love and concern for these geese...A satisfying, informative account..."
