They were a bit stacked up toward the South end due to the wind.

I see just one or two then.

Are they on their way somewhere, South or North?

Probably not. Most Canada Geese don't migrate anymore. They are such a nuisance in NY now that the bag limit has been raised to 15 a day, and there is an extended season.

These are the ones that winter over. You should see it during the migration!

I don't even want to think about what the sidewalk around that lake looks like. Awesome number of birds.

Well done.

Yep. By the time Spring comes around they are so bold that you actually bump them as you walk through. Avoiding their, um, er, "leavings" is impossible.

Geese are really good eating, but fat free they aren't. Geese, and ducks are quite fatty.

What even the lean, mean, flying machine, long distance type varieties.

I'd thought they'd would have burned off all the fat, if not, I'm giving up all this exercise nonsense immediately.

It's a proven fact that the mortality rate among those who eat well and exercise regularly is EXACTLY equal to that of those who don't.

Is that a polite way of saying we all die in the end.

Parallax · 02-18-2014, 01:07 PM

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be polite.
