Sky Watch - Canadian visitors

This was one of three waves  of Canada Geese that flew over Tuesday as the sun was setting. I think they were heading to farm fields east of Frederick to bed down for the night. These shots were taken at a shopping center, but I have also seen large groups over our house. They were squawking loudly, seemly an argument about where to go. Canada Geese are in the area year round, but during winter the numbers increase greatly, hence my conclusion that these have come south for the winter.

  1. I love to see them, when I can.
    They are not here (North Florida/South Georgia) unless they are migrating...and then I get to see them.
    Beautiful!

  13. It is nice to see geese in the sky again. Most geese leave Norway in the winter. And their leaving and coming more or less defines the seasons.
