Wow.
Gordon, thank you for the wonderful photo. It has such an open feel, reflective of the whole landscape, I imagine.
You are welcome Robin. Yes it is pretty big open farm country. Not prairie, per se, but cleared boreal forest which I guess results in a "Prairie" condition. They are truly majestic birds, interesting that they only go as far south as the Yellowstone in Wyoming and Idaho for their wintering.
Do they honk or 'trumpet' as they fly, Gordon? Around us in NY we mostly get Canadian geese and they fly in V formations and make wonderful honking sounds- it's spooky when you hear them overhead at night in the crisp Fall, when it's all black outside and you cant see them..
We like to think their "honk" is a little more "musical" than that of geese, they also fly in V formations. Incidentally, when you see a V of Canada Geese do you know why one side of the V is longer than the other side? It's because there are more geese on that side. ROFL
