Today’s theme is: Follow the Leader. Everybody’s doing it. Ooops, does that phrase make me a follower and not a leader? Naaaah.
Here is a group of geese playing the same game. It was fun to watch these guys swim from across the lake and then, one-by-one step onto land in a single filed fashion. No pushing or shoving occurred at all, I was very impressed.
I wish driving to work was that calm!
I think the reason they’re so well behaved is because they’re Canadian. LOL No?
I miss having close access to water birds. The marshes are so vast down here that nothing ever really needs to come close to shore at all.
They are so sweet and interesting to watch when they are following each other. I’ve been getting into watching the water birds more and more.
I like your new site. I’ll change the address in my sidebar.
Come visit,

I like to watch them fly in a V–I read that they take turns being the leader. Nice post.
Drowsey: You’re a Nut! LOL.
Lana: That’s sad! I never thought of that! I bet you get some great birds though.
Shelley: It’s so relaxing to watch the birds, isn’t it? Great free therapy!
Troy: Thanks! Glad you came over!
Joan: I love when that happens, I think that when they fly in a V pattern they don’t burn up as much energy as if they flew single file. Cool!
Christine; Yes, we do get great birds, regardless. 🙂
FYI, I’ve given you an award on my blog. Please don’t feel obligated to go through all of the rigamarole attached to it, however. Just know that I love your blogs–old AND new!
quackers and cheese? 😉 lol
