There are not many about yet, and there is certainly not much for them to eat at the moment, but the first flocks of Canada geese have arrived and taken up residence in soggy, windswept farm fields and along the river.
At sunset this week, the long "v" shapes of returning skeins trailed across the sky. The birds were magnificently silhouetted against the setting sun and drifting clouds, and their homecoming songs could be heard for quite a distance. As the moon is only a day away from full, conditions for night flying are perfect, and we hear geese overhead in the dark hours before dawn.
It is cold again here, but it doesn't matter a fig or a twitter or a hoot - the great geese are coming home, and warmer, brighter times are on the way.

Oh yeay! :) I know how much comfort this gives to see those beautiful geese flying "home." :)
That is such a stunning photo! We get Canadian Geese here, and its always so lovely to see them.
Great picture! Nice to capture the flock against the setting sun like that. Photographic poetry.
Love the "skein"!
Beautiful
Great capture of the geese in flight. I love Canada geese, so gracefully noisy.
