Canada geese on the lake with Madison Avenue and Albany's Park South neighborhood beyond.
I have no idea how the populations of geese in the northeast have fluctuated over the years, but I don't remember seeing so many on the ground before. I've always seen Canada geese during their migrations, flying in that distinctive V-formation far overhead. And I've heard them: honk! honk!
I think year-round Canada Geese populations began to change/increase in the '80s. Yale Golf Course was a mine field of goose poop. Your photo, of course, make it all look perfectly picturesque. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love to hear and watch geese fly. I think Canada geese have no problems with US immigration policy, we even allow them here in Alabama lol!
ReplyDeleteWow, look at that sky, too!
ReplyDeletemitch, that's about when I left the great northeast. The environmental clean-ups and the anti-DDT movements of the '60s and '70s were starting to have their effect. I remember when the Hudson was brown. Now it's blue and people fish in it!
ReplyDeleteevelyn, lol! And they don't even need passports!
judy, I was certainly lucky with the weather.
