Headin' south!

[FORDification]

I stepped outside about mid-morning for a smoke break and heard sounds overhead. I looked up and this is what I saw, taken with my cell phone camera (click to enlarge).



This group of geese was one of about 15 groups that went overhead while I watched, each one the about the same size...wave after wave of them. It was pretty cool to see this many all at one time, and all with a singular purpose.

You might want to head south too. Ever seen war of the worlds?

Getting cold up North. Lot of em flying over.

Getting cold in the South West too. A touch of snow this morning and 8 degrees tomorrow morning. My wife keeps trying to talk me into moving to warmer country.

I'm not near any major flyways, so we don't get any geese here. Sometimes we'll see a sandhill crane and an occasional great blue heron, but that's about it for migratory birds.

Winter's coming! It's not even 10 o'clock yet and it's already under 60. Yikes!

It was 80 degrees here today. Too hot for Thanksgiving week.

Getting cold up North...

You bet it is; ten below outside as I hunt and peck this. Some of those geese might have been the ones I saw beating it out of here a couple of days ago. That flock wasn't in anywhere as nice a formation as Keith's, they were just going like crazy to get somewhere warmer...

Ok now i see em, thanx.

Sounds like someone need to clean their puter screen...

That's a pretty big flock. We get masses of roosting starlings (glorified blackbirds) here. They'll fly around in a huge blobs of birds, whenever they go over all you hear is birdsh*t hitting the pavement...

It is cold here in Idaho. 25 Degrees plus wind today I think and 2 degrees tonight. Its cold enough so the snow is not melting. Dang I'm glad the 4x4 is up and going.
