Geese and Soybeans

The Canada geese are preparing for the long flight south. 

 Here they are gleaning the field after the soybeans have been harvested, putting on enough fat to keep them flying all those miles.

Geese Feeding

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.
