Canadian Geese

The other day, at least 2 weeks ago by now, I was talking to a friend of mine on the computer who lives in Singapore. During the course of our conversation these shadows kept going across the window in my den, it was a very eerie feeling. When I went to investigate I looked to the field across the street and this is part of what I saw (all the black specks are geese!):



Flocks and flocks of Canadian Geese had been coming in for a landing! Since she had never seen a goose, and because it was pretty awe inspiring I took some pictures. I have to admit it loses something in the photo, but there were hundreds of geese all honking and eating, and walking, and sleeping. It was really amazing. Now, I know geese can be a major pain, particularly if you live on water, but I do not have to deal with that aspect of them, and to me they are part of Autumn, and I love watching them. Eventually a large portion of the geese took off, and it darkened the sky. It was funny to watch them because they seemed to be flying in circles, then one group would take the lead, and another group would go the opposite way, so they would both turn around. All I could think of was how it was a miracle they ever got to their destination! Anyway, I hope everyone who enjoys them gets to watch some geese, and hear their friendly honking!
