Hello all, As I walked outside the house to catch the bus, I felt it was lot more chillier than yesterday and then just looked up into the sky. About two hundred snow geese were heading south way high. Just then my neighbor also came out and I pointed snow geese to her. After sometime she located them and then she asked me how could I see them. Soon we saw another three hundred or so. This was in just a minute and a half of waiting for the bus to arrive. Then from the bus, I watched 3000+ snow geese and about 500+ Canada Geese. It was so nice that I did not have to watch road. As we were turning into the Arthropod junction, i.e Dryden/maple/Mitchell/Cornell etc. junction a flock of about 50 flew low over Cascadilla gorge in beautiful sunlight that made me gasp. As I got off the bus and headed to BTI across the road, I saw another 300 flying low in beautiful sunlight. I wished I was at my office window to view them. They would have been another 200 feet closer! From office window while computer was booting saw another 200 at a distance.
That is a great way to start the day! So keep your eyes peeled to the sky (i.e if you have chance, probably next few hours I will be watching the screen of Mass spec.!)
