A true-life love story of a mated pair of Canada geese and their goslingsThis remarkable, heart-warming saga showcases a committed and protective mated pair of Canada geese who decided to nest in a corporate courtyard in California. Author Barbara Klide and her business colleagues shared the honor of watching Hawkeye, Mother Goose, and their baby goslings for five months in consecutive years.

With no body of water available, the fully enclosed soccer field-sized expanse offered the Canada geese a unique and sometimes challenging paradise. It allowed staff full observation, interaction, entertainment, and occasional worry while the geese warded off predators and ultimately thrived, nested, and hatched their goslings.

Through real-life stories and stunning photography, these dynamic life cycle events deliver insights, and promote appreciation and awareness of the natural world we share with Canada geese.

For teens, adults, and families, this journey of smart and elegant creatures is also packed with researched, educational facts, and in-depth resources about Canada geese for further study and enjoyment from the National Geographic, National Audubon Society, and California Rice Commission.
