Synopsis

Dust jacket notes: "Wild Goose Country presents the whole way of life of the great Mississippi Flyway flock of Canada Geese - the beauty and the danger.

It is man who is at last discovering his world and the lack of contact with nature, partly because of the wild goose who more than any other creature symbolizes human aspirations and the need for freedom.
