Every evening in fall finds me out in my backyard/driveway watching the many,
many flocks of geese above my home. I saw over 200 geese tonight in their
usual small gatherings, heading to the fields to feed. And, yes, it is so
moving and something I've never gotten tired of in 17 years of doing it.

Today, Sunday, from 9:30-9:40 a.m. on Shaw Island we watched three large
flocks of geese, flying south. One was so high, all you could see were the
lines in the sky and hear faint honks. The others were still high but we could
see the movement into formation by individuals. Too high to identify, but
assumed they were Canada Geese. We estimated 200-400 in each flock. Why is
this experience so moving?
Fall is sure here!

i'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.
