I know it's the time of year when folks eat these creatures, but I saw a scene this morning that anyone who has flown in high winds would appreciate. We're in some heavy weather in California right now, with a winter storm hitting the coast packing 40 mph winds. Every morning at about 7:00 am a flock of Canadian Geese fly right over my house on their way to breakfast. My dog, a Golden Retriever, always looks up and stares at me, like "Get a gun, shoot one, and I'll pick it up out of a marsh. Please."
The Geese are usually honking and carrying on, flying in loose formation. This morning they were all business. A tight V with their squadron leader locked into the heading. Tall trees were just about bent over sideways, and these geese were barely getting bumped around. No noise from them, however, they were pretty serious looking getting through the weather. I'm sure the guys up north see this all the time, but I was impressed with their skills in this storm. JE -- Erickson Architects John R.
