The geese are coming in for a landing
so they can join the several thousand already on the ground.
The farmer harvested the grain more than a month ago, but there was a lot left on the ground, and the geese are laying in reserves for their long migration.
A while ago, someone asked where I live. Well, if you cross the line of trees, the Carp River, and the major road, you get to the houses. I live about 20 houses east of here.
I used to love watching them at the Experimental Farm fields! Thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteI see them gather in the fields after harvest here. Interesting that the flocks are always lead by older females;)

ReplyDeleteWe are starting to see them in the fields here as well, they are so much fun to watch. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI watched Pelicans over the weekend flying high in the late afternoon.....soon the geese will be in my skies.
ReplyDeleteI love watching migration.

That is a lot of geese!
ReplyDeleteThey do make quite a mess. Bet the field takes on a whole different look. :)
Geese do seem to thrive in the hybrid landscape we have created.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Any clue as to why it's called "Carp River?" It struck me as odd, since Eurasian carp are an exotic species.
