My guess is that these were not migrating geese, but permanent residents of the area, the ones we see year ’round on golf courses and along streams. After all, they weren’t heading south. Why so many of them flew nearly together rather than in their usual solitary flocks, I’ll leave to ornithologists. I am simply grateful for the timing of that walk.
