All summer long, the Canada Geese have been flying in small, noisy groups, going from their sleeping areas in the river to their feeding grounds in the farmers' fields.
But lately, they have been more vocal, restless, flying low over my house, making quite a racket, really! Like a bunch of busy women arguing about something.
And just before noon, it seems they all came up together, flew low once around the Basin and over my house, then came back more decisively heading straight South. A few groups did not agree, you could tell, but most of them were very sure about it, and were not shy to express their determination.
The sun shone on their wings, and slowly, I could see they were gaining altitude, for the further south they were, the smaller they became, but stayed visible from my front yard. No wind to impede their progress, today should be a good day to head to warmer climes.
