Want to get Barnacle Goose for your list?

All you have to do is make a small cash payment, and pick a planned release location!

While not working and not somewhere near the Grimsby Barnacle Goose location from a few years ago, I found something pretty strange:

Heck, I've always wanted to add the "minima" or "Cackling" Subspecies of Cackling Goose to my Ontario list  too! I wonder how much?

I thought about calling, but didn't. I also thought about putting the normal picture online, but figured one of YOU may end up calling, so blocked it out. 

But seriously, this wasn't exactly a high end operation (did you see the sign?) - and seemed to be a bit of a hobby.. maybe for children... here's a limited sample of what else you can get:

And that's only part of the selection. Mute and Black Swans were also "for sale". Later that day, a fair distance away, we were "attacked" by a free-flying Mute Swan that had taken up temporary residence in a flooded ditch. (Walked right up the side of the road to the car). Any guess where it came from?

So yeah.. keep an eye out for those goodies. If you haven't seen enough yet, go back to that first photo of the Barnacles and Cacklers and see how many are banded!
