Today is the first day of spring and I saw yet another flight of Canada geese this morning migrating north in the fog above Great Cove. We seem to be getting more of these jumbo-liner migrators this year.
You don’t have to be close to these birds to identify them from their slim necks, heavy bodies, and large, slow-flapping wings – not to mention their constant honking badinage. There also is their wardrobe of formal day-wear: wing collars and white bow ties, white vests, and well-tailored gray morning coats.
