Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 34: November-December, 1982
Snow geese have been arriving in Louisiana since October. By the latter part of November, all that continue to use this ancestral wintering area will have arrived. They came as they have \come for centuries, from beyond the north wind.
With only the autumnal stopover at James and Hannah Bays, a thousand miles from the raw, barren sweeps of Baffin and Southampton Islands where they were hatched, snow geese migrated virtually non-stop to the brown and green marshlands of coastal Louisiana.
From that traditional loafing area in Canada where they annually pile on fat to condition them for the final miles of their southward migration, these geese sweep down across the heartland of America to the lacelike estuaries bordering the Gulf of Mexico.
