Thanks for the Memories John. I was always fascinated growing up in the Buffalo New York area when

I'd hear them honking and would watch transfixed as they flew over.
What a beautiful site.

I have often wondered about that. Thanks for clearing this up.

And the smartest/laziest geese in the "V" are the ones drafting at the end of the long line.

Have you ever wondered why they fly back north in the summer?

if I were them, I would just stay south where the winters are warmer.

Wait, is this a trick answer? I need to think about this.

Forgetting that I no longer live in Cleveland, Ohio (I now live in Phoenix AZ) Cathy and I were lamenting the absense of hummingbirds one winter month. Without thinking I told her that birds fly south for the winter.

Old habits die hard.

I'm currently looking out my window at several geese on my driveway.

We live on a 32,000 acre reservoir and geese are an every day event.
