Here most people do say Outarde. I think that its the "common" or colloquial French Canadian term for a Canada Goose dating back to when French colonists first encountered the bird that reminded them of a particular species of European bustard. However, it is ALSO called Bernache which I think might be the more scientific or proper name for it by ornithologistes and bird watchers etc etc, just like Dominique08 said! I'm on row 20! Whoot! http://www.bestioles.ca/oiseaux/bernache.html

I had no clue that Quebec meant anything at all. Now I feel so in the know. I'll probably be calling every Canada Goose a Quebec now!
