Canada geese (Branta canadensis) flying left in a V formation. In front, the outline of a black maple (Acer nigrum) leaf containing collage: a spring scene on the left, where a tundra swan (Cygnus columbianus) swims past flowery meadows and mountains under a colourful morning sky. Next to the right, a summer scene, with grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) catching fish. Next to the right, a fall scene with migrating geese in the sky and red, orange, brown and yellow foliage, setting sun casts its glow on the grasslands and a bison (Bison bison). At the far right, a winter scene with Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), iceberg adrift in the ocean.
