I came home from town the other day after running some errands and four Canadians were in my yard and boy were they noisy. Tried to get some photos and see if anybody on the forum recognized them, but they got even louder and flew away. Had another Canadian blocking the bridge to town this morning and asked him if he was injured because he didn't fly away, but he just looked at me like I was trespassing.

Yard full of noisy Canadians.

Vaya !! I always thought that Canadians were well educated people ...
I see that drunken louts around the world ... it was the first thing I thought, after I saw you were talking about birds, right?
I needed some good humor, for this afternoon's work, cold and rainy
Oh, sorry... something like this?

Beautiful big bird! Nice to hear them at night up in the darkness when they are on the move!....I remember one Fall day I was driving South on I75 from MI to GA..there was a flock of them beating along heading South, so I counted them and kept track...that flock and I kept pace for nearly 4hrs...65mph!....then they outran me just north of Cincinnati when I hit some traffic..I tried to catch up in Kentucky to no avail...I often wondered about if theres a relationship between those geese and Hummingbirds?
If I was a Hummingbird, I would find myself a migrating goose and snuggle in tight behind their neck between where their wings join, and hitch a ride all the way instead of flying? seems the Hummingbirds and Canadian geese leave the North in the Fall,and show up in the Spring just about the same time..so I always wondered...I cannot imagine a Hummingbird flying all that distance all alone with those little wings? they gotta be hitching on the backs of Geese right? Thats what I would do!... Anyway, when the geese show up, so do the Hummingbirds, and when the geese leave, so do the Hummingbirds.. Thoughts like this are a wonderment to me, but I have no scientific evidence to either confirm or deny it....
It must be something to be able to go that far that fast when the conditions are right, on the front of a big storm!...Canadian Geese allegedly mate for Life..so its sort of sad to count a flock with an odd number...or see one flying all alone calling out mournfully...I carved a Canadian goose wood decoy back in 1977 when I was just a kid....Remarkably, I still have it, its just at the top of the stairs right now, I'll go take a picture!...folks that own Lakefront property hate them on account of they crap all over the place..In all my years, I have never killed one, which is strange come to think of it, on account of I killed a lot of wild things with no remorse or consideration...I guess I just never needed one bad enough to put in the effort...I like them...I like to hear them at night when they are on the move...they announce the change of Seasons...
If I was a bird, I'd like to be a Canadian Goose...Summer up North, Winter down South, always around the water...I wouldnt mind one bit a Hummingbird hitching a ride...as long as he has some good entertaining stories to keep me awake on those long flights, and dont crap on my back...

We will just have to expect better!
And right into your hunting dogs yap!
They are beautiful birds and that's a great carving, Mud. Lots of talented members on this forum. After reading an article in Acres magazine about these people raising their own geese on pasture and how good the French fries tasted when cooked in their fat, I'd like to try it sometime. I couldn't shoot one of these beautiful birds unless I was starving to death myself, but would love to buy some fat from someone that raises them for market.

They are starting to arrive up here in Sask. The first of the flocks started showing up about a week ago. Still a little snowy here so it is probably difficult for them to find enough to eat.fongu said:
The weather is supposed to really turn here this week for the better so we should be starting to see them in large flocks.
I live on the eastern edge of their major flyway so we often see thousands and thousands every spring and fall.
Aye!
Shania Twain covered in nothing but Maple syrup lounging on a birchbark bed in a small remote log cabin, next to a natural hot spring in January with a cedar fire going and a Polar bear rug!

Mud, we know what's on your mind.....When I left to come to the library Monday, I felt like something or somebody was staring at me and my six sense was right. I turned around and 4 deer were standing by a Magnolia tree looking at me in disgust like they were thinking, there goes the neighborhood, humans are out and about. Mama deer snorted and blew and they took off and another deer that was behind the tree joined them.
