Title	Canadian Goose Illustration and Description
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Plants and Animals Birds Geese
Place	Columbus (Ohio) Franklin County (Ohio) Ohio (entire state)
Description	This illustration and text on the Canadian goose was published in William Dawson's The Birds of Ohio: a Complete Scientific and Popular Description of the 320 Species of Birds Found in the State in 1903. The Canadian goose, Branta canadensis, is commonly found in all regions of Ohio from spring to fall, and can be seen in smaller numbers during the winter months. These migratory birds have a range from southern Canada to northern Mexico. At one time the species was near extinction because of over-hunting, but due to conservation initiatives and hunting/trapping laws, Canadian geese were thriving by the end of the twentieth century. Their nests are made of dry grass and they typically nest on the ground or on cliffs. Females typically lay four or five eggs, which range from light green to white. William Leon Dawson (1873-1928), an ornithologist and Congregational minister, created The Birds of Ohio: a Complete Scientific and Popular Description of the 320 Species of Birds Found in the State in 1903. Dawson was ordained at Oberlin Theological Seminary in 1899 and became the pastor at North Church in Columbus in 1900. He also published books about the birds of Florida and California.
