Sunny and in the 20's, but the nasty stuff arrives tonight/early tomorrow.
It is up to 14 degrees now, was -1 early morning.
Mom called to tell me about the Canadian Geese problem for her on the river front.
Big suckers and a huge flock has descended to winter on her front yard. Every year the flock gets larger, and watching them feed in mild weather is a hoot. One will stand guard as the flock picks about in the lawn for what ever they eat and after a time another Goose will come to relieve the guard so they can eat.
Last few days with the ground frozen the Geese are going hungry, they have hunkered down on the lawn and Mom swears she counted 80 of them----they spread out to two other yards on both sides of her.
Mother is having fits, she sees few Sea Gulls or Shit Pokes on the river and wonders how the crows can survive in this weather. Not a good time for man nor beast.
I tried to tell her to use the air horn to get the Geese off the lawn but she feels too sorry for them. Come spring she will be up to her ankles in Goose shit and a few rare diseases.
Any one here know anything about these birds and if they are in your area ????
