It's that time of year again. Three or four V's of geese flew overhead, all going North, in the short time we were on the beach.
Update: From Cornell:
Even members of "resident" populations, which do not migrate southward in winter, will move north in late summer to molt.
Back to the tank inventory tomorrow; more prolific snails.
So... why do your geese go north for the winter?
ReplyDeleteGood question! They're basically resident year-round here, but all the Vs that we see now are heading towards the North Shore.
ReplyDeleteCornell.edu may have an explanation: "Even members of "resident" populations, which do not migrate southward in winter, will move north in late summer to molt."
