The common gray goose, Canada honker, flying in regular harrow-shaped flocks, was one of the wildest and wariest of all the large birds that enlivened the spring and autumn.

John Muir
Quacker had spent the summer in the Far North with honker the Goose.
"Old Granny Fox"
Thornton W. Burgess
He had started for the far away Southland at the same time honker had, but when he reached the Big River he had found plenty to eat and had decided to stay until he had to move on.
