CANADA GOOSE
Branta canadensis
The Canada Goose is the most common and widespread goose throughout North America.   Because of its huge range there is much geographic variation and 12 subspecies have now been identified.   Because it is a monogamous species, mated pairs stay together for life.   Canada Geese, such as the one I photographed above, will eat from your hand if they are habituated to public parks and waterways.  King Township's prevalent agricultural landscape is frequently inundated with these easily recognized avian icons.

New King headquarters well underway

 Photo by Barry Wallace
To open in late 2018
My inquiry to the township about the opening date of King's new headquarters resulted in a hopeful time of around Christmas, this year, but it could also be early 2019.

Old museum space gutted...

Photos by Barry Wallace

The inside of the old portion of the King Museum is seen here, after being gutted in preparation for a complete makeover of the space for future artifact display and event staging.
The original building was the historic Kinghorn schoolhouse.  Completion is expected to take place at the end June. 

This blog entry is my first in about four months after having undergone cataract surgery, which really limited my photographic pursuits.   It's nice to be back and I hope to share many more views of our beautiful and green King Township.
