GEESE!!!!!

THE GEESE ARE BACK!!!!!

Yes, I'm yelling. We are about a mile south of Lake Ontario, and this time of year, 1000's and 1000's of geese stop by on their northern migration. One day we have the dead silence of winter. The next day the world is full of the sound of honking and the flapping of wings. It is a wonderful harbinger of Spring. Every night at dusk they fly over and spend the night on the lake. Every morning they fly back and spend their days on the fields in the area. It is an amazing sight and sound to hear them take off. There's a high point near here and from there you can see that the sky is filled with flock after flock. This will last for a few weeks and then they will be gone.
