My two cents; a large flock of geese taking flight simultaneously could well be due to disturbance, human or otherwise & it is hunting season Merry Christmas, Mike S Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 25, 2015, at 10:58 AM, David Nicosia wrote: > > That's a good point Ben. Plus why right at sunrise

That's a good point Ben. Plus why right at sunrise for geese?? We see this with swallows a lot which roost in marshes and take off in the morning to feed. Geese roost in the fields? I thought they fed in the fields. Interesting stuff nevertheless. On Fri, Dec 25, 2015 at 10:24 AM, Benjamin Van
