The foreman of the boat work, and now thread's mascot, this is a Canadian Honker goose we call "Peepers".
Peepers because as young geese they "peep" to let the others know they are babies yet, and are given preferential treatment when it comes to feeding and protection.

Well, there is a marked decrease in compass dependability over the past few decades. Been an avid sailor all that time.
Such that I decided to get a GPS as the magnetic field is greatly reduced now.

That is also why we do not see the migratory travels much any more. They can't navigate with out
a good magnetic field.
