Does it depend on which way the wind is blowing???
Or is it that the geese are paired... male/female and with one at the point
there are always an odd number left over??..
By the way.. we went out today to a wide-open area
where there are many geese, swans, herons, and typically Holland, lots of sheep
to see.. Saw some beautiful geese that our little book identified as Nijlgans,
Nile Geese.. haven't looked them up yet, but they were beautiful, lovely
markings... but it was really cold and windy up on the dyke so we cut our visit
short and went to a coffee shop for cake and coffee...
So here is 2005...
Cheers from Sam

migrated is all.
sam ...
i know
you have seen flocks of geese migrating ...
certainly during your mispent
youth in michigan. ;)
so i have a question:
perhaps some geek/technical
type can reveal the reason.
canadian geese like to fly in those V
formations ...
for reasons known perhaps only to themselves ...
we
speculate it has something to do with areodynamics, etc.
but who but the
geese really know?
but i have noticed ...
that at times the line of
geese on the right will be longer ...
yet at other times the left wing is
stretches farthest.
i was puzzled by that for years.
so i was wondering
if you are anyone here knew why one
side or the other would be
longer/shorter?
care to hazard a guess?
i now know the answer, btw
...
was tipped off by a 10 year old. ;)
just wondering if you
know.
