I saw a "V formation" of geese flying south last week?
I was looking east though. ;)
Robins are also returning here.
Peace ✌

Harrisburg PA is calling for a Cool Down tomorrow, with Cold air From Canada again
& Snow on the First day of Spring.

Hopefully the Geese know more about the weather then the weather do

We had some wild geese move in next door. Nothing but one party after the next.

Were sick of the loud noises and racket.

Still trying to get rid of them...

I also heard some geese going over a week or so ago. I kept looking, but never saw them. I guess we're gonna have an early spring here in Idaho! The trees are blooming in the back yard! If you look closely, you can just make out the new leaves beginning to form.

Seen but not heard

Love seeing Geese -

Funny story on Geese - when I was 10, got a telescope for Christmas - next fall while stargazing, I seen a formation of white ovals overhead - ran into the house bug eyed, telling parents I seen UFOs.

Called the local AFB next day to report - guy who answered was so cool, taking my phone number and telling me he would check and let me know.

The neighbors and my family were out the that night to see if it was plane or stars I seen. Looking up - there it is again, larger than the night before! Adults were getting a bit excited - until we heard faint honks.

Snow Geese with the city lights reflecting on their bellies.

Well I could hear "them" too but couldn't see them either... I went outside last night about 9:00 pm and the entire wooded area around me was ALIVE with coyotes yipping and yelling. Some were real close and others long away. But damn they were LOUD with no break in the communication between them all.

You can keep your geese.... I'll take the coyotes any day!!!!!!!!

Five of them flew over last evening but they were headed south!

A few times we have had bad snow storms we have had geese flying away just before....not looking forward to the Friday snow storm!

I think I saw a robin but not sure it was right about dawn.

Don't HATE the player....HATE the game. Those geese swooped in on your territory and macked on your ladies. If you can't beat em, join em. Migrate on up to the next stop and start Big Pimpin.

You didn't see a Robin Karen.... Your snow blinded yet. Hell you won't even see the ground till Aug. probably. Come on down and let's go find some horseshoes. And I'll point out some robins also. Lots of them here!!!!

I see and hear them every morning and every evening! There are so many thousands of them that came to Tennessee and found the weather, the lakes and corn fields more to their liking and now they never leave. It is even worse when the many thousands of them that went further South, fly back across Tennessee to their' home base. You don't want to be outside sometimes as it is like all of the Allied B-17 Bombers converging on Berlin at the same time!::):icon_pale:
