<<I still like the noise they make.>> Especially at night. You can hear but not see them. I was in Southern Illinois when about 50,000 of them came over at the end of a 400 mile flight with the refuge 300 yards away. You couldn't hear the guy next to you. I also got to hear a bunch of woodcock migrating one evening. They bounce more than fly as they go 50 yards at a time. I think the neatest is a mallard hen cutting loose at dawn. Either that or the raspy cock pheasant during mating season.

Do ya'll have Canada geese living on your schoolgrounds and golf courses? We do. I think it's a relatively recent phenomenon, like within the last five or ten years. Flocks of geese, all over the place. Cute little fuzzy babies in the spring. A local shopping mall that has a lake has 'em, and they walk across the street to get grass, and traffic stops. And a local office park that has a lake has them, too. Instead of geese flying South for the winter, they fly to another golf course. I think maybe when it gets really cold, they go further, not sure where.
