Personality of Geese






What a strange winter we are having here in N.W. Wisconsin! What would usually be a cold and snowy March turns out to be almost 70 degrees and warm. Even the geese are taking advantage of the warm weather. Already they are migrating and hitting the local lakes. Down the road from us is Trego Flowage and a beautiful place to take photos of the geese enjoying themselves. Tonight, just before dark, I stood on the banks of the river and took pictures of the geese swimming, coming and going. I noticed that they have a personality much like humans. They congregate in small groups, swim together and they love to make noise. When one of them starts to honk, it isn't long before the whole group is yacking up a storm. They also get mad at each other, chew each other out and even attach one another. (They must think they are in church). Our amazing Creator not only gave them personalities and temperaments, but a truly mind blowing sense of timing and direction. You might say they have a built in GPS that makes ours seem like toys.
