A goose hunt sounds like a WWII battle.

Probably because I find it very uncomfortable, so I prefer to bird from a sitting position, of which I have already written here (birding by car , by kayak …), but I have only rarely written about birding on foot (e.g. Hence, to do any proper birding, I need to sit down. in the Lazarev Canyon ).
