The Tribe Has Landed

This August, it will be 17 years since we moved to our house on the river. When we first moved here, the waterfowl were sparse on the water.

But over the years, we've seen an increase in geese, ducks, kingfishers, merganzers and all of the feathered critters who like riverside property as much as we do.

Today marked a first, however. It seems we've become a stopover for at least one flock of Canada geese. They showed up this morning, about three dozen at least, and they've hung out all day.

I know that golf course keepers despair when these geese show up. Goose grease—their intensely green droppings—are no myth.

But I don't care about golf so welcome honkers!
