I'm in central Canada, above the North Dakota, Minnesota area, about 50 miles from the border.
I have never seen so many flocks of geese this early in the year...not only are there lots of flocks but they're huge...250 - 300 birds in some...they're laying up at the retaining ponds.
Mostly Canadas but some Snows.
This means we're going to have an early and cold winter, according to the Almanac.
