Today I was shoeing in a barn where I get to be alone. Owner leaves check on board and it's just me and the horses. I love that. So, I was already having a terrific day when I heard them. "What?" you ask. The Canada geese of course! I ran out to see two flocks over head. I could hear their feathers ruffling too. I don't know about you but when our birds come north again I get so excited. Can it be long now until spring? The funny thing is this was the same barn I was at when I noticed them going south. I wonder if it could be the same bird

I don't know which geese fly over us but it is pretty cool to hear and see them overhead.
We are either very seldom in their flight path or I missed them this year. Some years I have heard them coming and going.

I haven't seen any signs of 'our' geese coming north yet but they shouldn't be long now!!! I love to watch skeins of them flying over sounding like a crowds of people laughing and talking all at once.

We saw a couple flocks of them Saturday and thought they were crazy. The snow was blowing so hard you could hardly see - why were they returning to this weather?
