CANADA GEESE On The Buffalo River

Canada Geese have been gathering for the past few weeks preparing for their migration
points east & south for winter.  They've lived on the Buffalo River
all summer and raised their young.
  
  

There's lots of flight activity as the younger geese learn to take off with the group,
it's amazing how the whole family can leave the water's surface at once
and not get in each other's way. There's a lesson here!

Because of the natural habitat and the flowing waters of the Buffalo River,
the Canada Geese flourish and our beaches and water quality are not at risk
as they often are in small lakes and ponds.


Soon they'll be on their way!

The antics of the younger birds who have never experienced ice are entertaining, especially if you can capture it on video.  These "stills" just don't reflect the moment ....
