“Every little pond and pothole has its resident Canadian goose population”

Canada geese named after John Canada, the ornithologist and taxonomer who distinguished it from other species of geese.

Few get this right.

Well he can have them back.
They have gone from threatened to vermin in a few decades.

Canada geese named after John Canada, the ornithologist and taxonomer (sic) who distinguished it from other species of geese.

I believe that's an urban legend. Earliest reference to Canada Goose is around the mid 1700's.

Most get this right.
