While I was taking the pics of Brooks doing retrieves in the snow, flock after flock of Canadian Geese were flying over, heading to a field just west of my development. When I was done with Brooks, I took a drive over to the field, hoping to catch a few geese landing. These guys were coming in just as I hopped out of my car. I waited another 20 minutes, and no one else showed up.

I know the bird population is suffering a bit around here. All the local ponds, lakes, and rivers are frozen solid. I haven't seen my local Heron for a couple weeks, and wonder how the wading birds are getting through all this.
