Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) in Morro Bay, CA 15 March 2008 - Photo by Michael "Mike" L. Baird bairdphotos.com, Canon 1D Mark III w/ 100-400mm IS lens handheld.

use request granted with attribution as specified: 18 Aug. 2008. My name is Alicia Lee and I'm a student at the Auckland College of Classical Homoeopathy in Auckland, New Zealand. I am working on an assignment for my diploma which requires me to make several mind maps of remedies made from the Bird Kingdom (from feathers). I like to place a photograph on my mind maps, both for decoration and to demonstrate the original substance of the remedy. I am currently working on a mind map for the homoeopathic remedy made for the birds in general, and whilst searching the Internet I came across a photograph of a Canada goose on your website: www.flickr.com/photos/mikebaird/2336548126/

This photograph is just spectacular and since I’m a Canadian (living in New Zealand) I’d really like to represent my own avian connection you image would be perfect for my mind map.  I was wondering if you would give me permission to use it on my mind map?  It is possible that one day my mind maps may be published as a resource for practicing homoeopaths. I would be very grateful if you would consider granting me copyright permission... Alicia Lee lee-hay [at} ihug d o t co d o t nz
