From the Dust Jacket: "Virtually everyone has been enchanted by the sight and sound of a V-shaped formation of geese passing overhead, the geese honking joyfully as they take to the skies for migratory flights of up to 3,000 miles. How do they survive such an incredible journey? Where do they spend the winters? How do geese defend themselves. WILD GOOSE COUNTRY takes the reader to the marshes and uplands that are the home to our geese. It's a volume devoted exclusively to the daily lives and fascinating behaviors of these adaptable birds, and it covers all North American species. Over 100 full-color photographs illustrate the wild goose saga, and Michael Furtman's text is thorough, up-to-date, and well researched, but never stuffy. As you read Furtman's dramatic firsthand descriptions and page through the splendid photographs, you're likely to share the author's conclusion: 'Geese,' he writes, 'are magic.'"
