I have seen then fly through {mean heard them) many times.



I had just finished the rollout of the Monday morning trash bin and was walking
back to the house when I heard this wonderful sound. The sky was a bright
clear blue (severe clear) without a cloud in sight and there, high overhead
were two large, almost perfect "V"s moving across to the south. Their song was
loud and clear since it was early enough that the human noise was subdued and
still enough for the sound to travel a long way. A truely beautiful sight that
has become less and less frequent over the last few years.

Hey Bob, come on down to SW OK. and get your fill. They are eating the
wheat farmers out of business in places.

I am not saying that their numbers are down so much as they are taking a
different path and overflying my home less frequently and at highter altitudes
now. There are still areas to the West and Southeast of Houston that are
downright dangerous to fly your airplane over during this time of year.

We have wetlands to the north of Wexford Harbour here in the South
East of Ireland, this is home to many wild birds inclunding up to
12,000 Greenland Whitefront Geese. Having to herd these geese off
local farm land onto the local reserve was on of the jobs I did
almost 20 year ago, gave me great respect for the flying ability of
geese.

Geese have been observed at 33,000 feet on rout back to Greenland.

You ought to come to the Mississippi River Valley. The large V flights
happen many times a day and the Vs get larger and more numerous. They also
make a mess with the excrement on the bike paths and parkways along the
banks.
