012509: Many decades ago, my mother asked me to go and tie a red ribbon around each of the necks of the Canada Geese on our shoreline. She thought it would be pretty. I thought different.
Though now when the I see the geese, who join us every winter, I think of that story. The American Coot, a.k.a. "Mud Hen", show up every year, too. Hundreds and hundreds of geese, coot, mergansers, a few wood ducks and our mallards take refuge on our beaches.
Often when I step out on our patio overlooking the lake, the geese see me and start honking to me. You didn't know that the photos have an audio side to them, did you?
