This weekend we had lots of Canada geese fly by, sometimes settling in the field for the night. Saturday afernoon two flocks appeared, honking and circling. The flock above flew off to the west while the smaller flock landed in a nearby field. (More photos on Lew's Pics.) Then Sunday with the sun low in the sky, the small flock (about 180) returned to the field behind or house.
Monday brought the large flock of over 300 back to settle in for the night. Note the geese already in the field as more approach. Finally they all settled in for the night.

If you have time, come over my world here. Thanks!
Isn't that a bit early for going north, or alternatively, late for going south? Or maybe the geese behave differently in North America compared to Northern Europe.

Very nice capture, love the field shot.
Wow, that's a lot of geese. That's got to be something else to see in person.

300 is a lot. Some of those geeses are getting too annoying lately. There is so many.
Those are great shots of the geese. Amazing how many there are this time of year.
Hi Lew, very interesting shots to see the birds.
That is a LOT of geese! Great photos.
Heading north is good, right? Or are they hurrying things along.
Look at all those geese!
Great great photo's.
Thanks for sharing your part of the world with us.
Lovely, lovely Canada geese!!!
Hi Lew, thanks for stopping by my blog! I love that fist capture of all the geese flying in the huge "V" with the clouds and blue sky. Gorgeous!
