Here in Va we have resident geese that fly from farm to farm and to the lakes and rivers and stay year round. the ones I see flying during migration are very high in the air .
the local geese are just over the tree tops.

I had a bobcat just outside my window last week , first I've seen alive in the wild.

Those are resident geese. Born and raised in PA. They have no clue about how to migrate. Migrators start south in October.

My sister just said she heard a Flock going north the other day.
I guess they may have meat up with the Frosts last few months & got confused

We now have them year round here in south west Georgia. They fly over my house every day.

I sit here everyday with my Windows wide open, I hear every noise outside.
If today wasn't the First I heard Geese here, I'd think Local Yocals too. But they were Obviously High, Just audible. and a first here.

Jeff, probably a late migratory flight up the Mississippi Flway that got steered off course and pushed east by tropical storm Cristobal.

You notice Geese fly in a V if you look closely you will notice one side of the V is longer then the other, do you know why that is??

 

[jeff of pa]

the one side has more Geese

Geese are social animals and have interesting interactions with each other but few people seem to notice the complexity of their brown little lives. I hunt geese, usually canadas, and it might be interesting to note that geese "talk" to each other much like other birds, and what the geese are saying can be distinguished by listening to their calls.

Everyone who ever saw a canada goose in flight knows their flight call- 'her-onk... Her-onk... Her-onk". They also have an assembly call when waking up in the morning.- 'ipe ipe her-onk gab" the assembled flock then gives take off instructions- Honk,her-onk onk-onk-onk!' Their landing instruction is similar to the assembly call- 'her-onk-onk, her-onk, ipe, ipe, ipe,"

Then you got the call the hunter just don't want to hear. I don't think I can spell it phonetically. It's kind of a soft gurgling grunt. Makes my stomach turn just thinking about it. It means "hold formation, prepare for evasive action and incoming fire".

Migrating canadas are very interesting to me. Half the shots I get I pass up. I just love watching wild geese. I got little to no love for the practically tame goose and goslings that crap on my dock all summer long.

If Geese are over your head, always wear hats.
