They’re only Canadian Geese if they happen to be from north of the border. The species name is Canada Geese. I don’t know why. I didn’t name them. But that’s the way it is.
It’s a natural mistake, and I don’t get terribly annoyed when people make it. But when they argue with me about it … I once had an editor insist I was wrong. He changed the name in an article I wrote, which made me look stupid. I have no idea what he’s doing now, but I’m doing his job.
