At Sunset, looks like they are headed south a little early. Maybe an early winter in Canada?

They're on their way here !

Mind you, we have observed some families of Canada geese hanging around suring the whole summer .... climate change?

This is a beautiful shot !

No mountains again? That is where the geese are going Bob. The Tetons await.

Not sure what the geese are doing, but I do know we will be seeing a lot of Canadian Snowbirds in RVs migrating to the USA very soon

A very pleasant photo, old buddy. It reminds us of the upcoming change of seasons - here in Texas, we'll see autumn about December 15.

They must've been a little drunk. That's the loosest formation I have ever seen geese flying in? Maybe it's just the angle of view?

I caught them when they had just broken formation Den and they were starting to form the V again. I had a beer at the time though, that may have something to do with it.

yeah I know Susan, I am hoping for clear sky on Sunday or Monday and we will visit there. Very stormy today and supposed to be that way tomorrow. You got a lot of beautiful photos of the Tetons that I remember viewing, you will just have to look at them again.
