Abstract:

Reports of Canadian Goose retreating the Great North Way for Deep South go back at least a few centuries. It began with John Lawson’s accounts written during the early 1700s. With his as a touchstone, publications persisted through the early twentieth century. More recent sightings have been confined to the Carolinas, with locally bred varieties the last of this bird species.
