A gathering....


I always love to watch them...and wonder why they gather like this in the fall.  Is it safety in numbers?


And why do they pick a spot in the road and gather there, then fly away in just a few minutes...

Makes me think of the Hitchcock movie "The Birds"!

Fantastic photos. They probably think similar thoughts when they fly over a city in the rush-hour.

Wow, that's a lot of birds at one time, Rose. I just saw some geese this morning, but I usually see them in families of about seven or so. Great pictures!

Yes the type seems to need to be flocked together for their every move.

Great shots - we had some of them land on the road right in front of our car (we were driving very slowly along a gravel road) - they flew up and landed a few feet away in the road - repeated this several times until we were laughing so hard we had tears running down our faces - they kept this up for almost five minutes - moving just a few feet ahead of the car each time - silly birds.
