Sibi makes multiple, good points. I concur. Today, we've got 60's and sun. Torts are out grazing, and I have to go to town 30 miles away. So it goes. I just want to watch torts eat! (Stomping my feet a little)

This afternoon they have flown off and in their place was a large flock of turkeys.

Now that sounds like somthing we see here in the South! I've seen lots of fields in Kentucky and Tennesse full of Turkeys. (and ducks but they are not Geese!)
Zamric said:
We don't get a lot of ducks. The turkeys have really exploded in numbers the last five years or so.
We have quite a few ponding basins for rain overflow. There are lots and lots of flocks of Canada geese in them during the winter. I love seeing them.
I've seen quite a few Canadian Geese when I lived as far North as Louisville KY. but rarely as far South as Nashville TN. and never here in Dallas
Zamric said:
I hadn't thought about it, but the places I recall from trucking where geese were in large numbers were not in the states you mention
Well, Louisville is on the Kentucky/Indiana boarder, so it's kinda North as far as Kentucky goes. I've never seen fields full of them...just ponds and fly-bys
Twice a year we get fields full of all kinds of geese with a few ducks and cranes thrown into the mix. I just got back infrom running out to my truck and the sky was filled with a couple of large flocks.
My dog (the lab mix) was so funny just now. Earlier today I filled a sheep water tub with substrate that I had brought in from outside. I needed it to make a place for some RES to lay their eggs. I didn't really have a good spot for it, so it's kinda in the walkway with the kitchen on the far side. Mister, the lab, had no troubles going over/around it to get to the kitchen, but then stood their crying not being able to figure out how to get back.
The cats are loving laying on top of the screen that covers it, because I just happen to place it where the heat hits it. So you look at it and it's like a solid cover of felines.

We have geese here too. I was in a neighborhood recently where a man keep feeding the geese and they basically made home in his backyard. Now, i hear that he has a rooster, and the neighborhood is up in arms pub it because the rooster wakes up the whole neighborhood at 5 a.m. every morning Haha. I don't know much about geese, but i do enjoy seeing them on lakes and ponds here.

I'd take the rooster crowing over all the mess geese make.
Where I lived in Montana (NE corner) it was a big flyway. We'd see lots of geese and ducks, and cranes. I loved when the cranes came over.
Congrats Erin!!!!! I'm so happy for you. You've got a lot of work ahead of you. Sorry that Sid and the others are gone, but it isn't permanent, right? We want pics, and lots of them, inside and out.
You should taken pic's of this! Sounds really cuteJacqui said:Twice a year we get fields full of all kinds of geese with a few ducks and cranes thrown into the mix. I just got back infrom running out to my truck and the sky was filled with a couple of large flocks.

Thanks & no it isn't permanent. We close in 60 days. It will be warm then so we will set up their outside enclosures and they get to go right outside on their new propery

I agree, I love the cranes. I saw my first Whoppers in FL, even though I look during their migrations through Nebraska.

Is it tomorrow the realtor comes to appraise your current home?

It was supposed to be today but we are delaying it because we are having the living room painted and a new railing put on the front steps this weekend.
Congratulations on them excepting your offer! Now get this house you're in now sold so life can begin again in a normal fashion.

That makes me so happy for you. I can't wait to see your babies come back home to you. Btw, did you get to read my post about Continuing Pretend Chat on another thread so that we won't have to go through the lags?
