Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 33: November-December, 1981They would be his geese for sure, he thought. Suddenly, they were very special geese and he knew all about them. The jumble of disconnected thoughts racing through his mind crystalized in perfect sequence. His thinking became orderly.These geese had been born somewhere in that broad, desolate expanse of ice, snow, and barren land between the eastern Alaskan border and King Williams Island and the Boothia Peninsula. In isolated spots broken with sparse clumps of grass wet with melting snow and ice, geese had scooped out shallow hollows in the earth and lined them with tufts of grass and lichen.While the nest building was going on, the ganders stood watch, looking out over the flat tundra with alert and wary eyes. Unlike most waterfowl, the nests of white-fronted geese were widely scattered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
