Today saw the first pair of canada's on our pond today. We have two aerators running on the pond so it opened up quickly, but it was cool to see geese on the pond today.

Agree. I sat and watched a few hundred off a river bank today. Always a sweet sounds to hear them. Wish I had some nice private land or even a pond on my propery that held birds.

I've been seeing and hearing alot of geese as well. They have been flying low our our office and honking away. I even got up and went outside to watch/listen to a few last week. They are landing in a lagoon a couple of blocks away.

Have some sandhills in the area now as well. Some swans are using the sheet water areas. A lot of our sheet water froze up the last couple of days but the swifter moving creeks and streams are open and the geese are piled tight in them. Sheet water should open back up over the next couple of days. Haven't seen the big push of scoopers yet tho. Seems every year we get a pile of those smiley guys in this time of year.

Yeah it's weird we do here and around Hayward but there's never that many around in the fall. Is that the same with the river?
