I had a couple of guests stop by for breakfast, this morning

First it was deer, and now it is geese. I guess Mother Nature is arranging for some nice distractions.

1. Wonderful. It's an amazing time of year for animals

and flowers/plants and even coronavirus can't ruin that.

2. Those are great when it's a pair.

Not so much when it’s 50 of them.

3. So true

I've seen big flocks flying overhead, but this is the first time I've seen any geese landing on my property. Last I saw them, they were heading up the street.

5. They've never landed in our yard, but they fly overhead almost every morning.

They are flying to the river bank for their daily foraging. They stop across the street often and our dog charges them as we walk by.

What we've seen that's new is blue herons sleeping overnight in the trees a couple of blocks from the river. We see them wading in the shallows every spring, but usually only 1-2 and only in April. There were 5 of them in the trees yesterday and they all took off and were flying around as we walked below. I'd never heard them calling before and was surprised at how loud they were. It was a very nice change of pace for this disturbing time.

4. I agree.
