I just love watching these birds land and take off. They love the sweet corn fields the best. And at night, if you go outside, and stand still and listen you can hear them rustling around in the leaves.

Hi Linda
Are they the Canadian Geese that migrate in the breeding season.
I remember that in Rochester, Minn. they would come in their thousands and enjoy a rest before, at a given time, they would all take to the air and fly off. Amazing to see. If I recall properly, as it was summer, – winter in Minnesota was far too cold for me to visit during. The geese were going back to Canada.
Nice big sturdy shed in the background, is it your shed and are they your ranch vehicles etc.?
Cheers

I’m hoping your geese continue on north….they’re a sure sign of spring when the circle in at the river 😉

It looks like the Canadian Honkers are on their way north. Good that you provided some sweet corn and a place to rest. They are an awsome sight flying overhead. They must see some amazing scenery as they migrate each year. Too bad they don’t write blogs. 😉

They are beautiful. We’ve got wild turkeys around these parts AND wild hogs AND coyotes.
It was interesting to read about your ‘maternity ward’ for the cows. It would be such a shame to lose a calf like that, with a coyote just waiting for it to be born. Life is hard for animals. I know ya’ll are doing a wonderful job looking out for these animals – otherwise those cows wouldn’t keep coming back! Have a good weekend!

Do they stay the winter in your area? They are fun to watch and I love to here them “honk” we always refer to them as Canadian Honkers. Here 1 1/2 hours from Rochester MN they fly in on a small lake, they rest, eat, and move on. In the middle of MN where I grew up and the lakes are very numerous, alot of geese will nest, going no further north. You know they mate for life, and are very good parents.

Interesting comments on the geese.
Especially from Jody Blue who lives 1 and 1/2 hours away from Rochester, Minn or is it MN?
Now, please someone, where do they migrate to during the Canadian winters? How far south do they go?
I was under the impression that they returned to Canada and there they bred the “goslings” in Spring/Summer/Autumn and when winter was approaching they flew south for the warmer climates.

I saw two large groups of geese flying EAST the other day. I’m trying not to think too hard about it ;-).
