Yeah if I were a betting man I would say definitely orca and very possibly eagle due to the shape of the eye the being a mix of orca and eagle the shape is not one or the other and the fin portion could also easily double as a wing feather tucked under.
That ever it is I like it beautiful collection you have @chamekke
It’s funny you say that. Most people around here are just annoyed at Canada Geese for the same reasons you mentioned. However, when I see or hear them I’m so reminded of my time spent in Canada and Northern Michigan that I get all nostalgic.
And when I say the goose sculpture is big, I mean BIG, like 28 ft tall from bottom of the base to the top. https://northernontario.travel/algoma-country/fun-facts-about-famous-wawa-goose
When we were up there, someone stated that Canada Geese are Ontario’s biggest export…
First of all… so very sorry about exporting all those geese 
Also, I read your Wawa goose article – very interesting. The first sculpture was made of plaster!? I’m not surprised it didn’t last 
What were they thinking, I wonder?
Your article sent me down the usual Wikipedia rabbit hole. I also learned that there is a near-identical goose called the Cackling Goose with which the Canada goose is confused. Typical birds, resembling one another closely! Almost as bad as sparrows!
@Lessonslearned thank you very much!
By the way, I also own a salmon (salmon head) lapel pin by Phil Janzé (Gitxsan, 1950-2016). The salmon/trout head design was also in my head when I was trying to work out the identity of the creature on Norman Jackson’s pendant.
Yeah I thought through that as well def orca though
nice pin I need one now😉
No problem, I love Canada Geese, export away 
Yes, I actually had seen it many times when it was in it’s previous form. One of the last times we were there before they changed it, it was looking a bit weathered.
Cackling Goose, I will have to check that out. Oh, you can export us some Canadian butter tarts. Now that would really make me happy
Your little trout pin is pretty cute.
I saw your post there, and thought it might be an Orca, but didn’t say so since I’m not always confident on my ID’s of stylistic creatures. Glad you got a definitive answer!
A couple of days ago i received this multi stone and silver necklace. I was told that it was created by the Siksika (Blackfoot) people of Canada. I’m very smitten by it and can’t believe my luck.
@Bluegreen that necklace is lovely and so colourful! I’ve never seen Siksika/Blackfood jewellery before, but I can see why you love it so much. All those summery hues.
Thank you! It was the first time i saw Siksika jewelry too. I still can hardy believe to have all those pretty beads. I find it very fascinating and often sit and just stare at all the different stones.
Here’s a very large domed Sisiutl pendant by Norman Seaweed.
The Sisiutl is a type of sea serpent, usually double-headed although it’s often depicted with a third face in between the two. Its nature is supernatural (as you can tell from its horns/plumes), and it is “closely associated with shamans because both are seen as mediators between the natural and supernatural worlds” (to quote Wikipedia).
I’d wanted a Sisiutl piece for ages – you don’t see them that often – and was lucky to spot this one in a local antique shop that was closing down and pricing things “to go”. Norm Seaweed is one of my favourite First Nations silversmiths, so I was delighted to find it.
Now I just have to be bold enough to wear it. It’s 4" across and 2" high!
