Isaiah 52:7-8,   How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

CANADA GEESE

Branta canadensis

In late full through spring each year we have a number of geese that fly over the house.  The golf course to the north of our house, the two lakes to the west and other water sources around attract these geese.  In 2020, they actually nested a few blocks away.    I understand that due to the number of predators in the neighborhood they hatch lings don't always make it to adulthood.  We just have to be careful when driving because they are often trying to cross the road.   This year I will work to get more pictures, as I have slacked off running outside and taking pics as they fly over.
