Neighbors
I think this pair of Canada geese has plans for the heifer pasture just behind the kitchen. They make a lot of noise and fly whenever we go outside, but they seem to settle right back down in the same spot. As long as they don't actually bite me I am good with it.
Happy Birthday to the boy:) I always have a pair of geese nest around the garden dugout. They like to rant a rave but they've yet to chase me.......the dogs on the other hand have taken many whoppin's:)
We have snows and blues around here in the hundreds of thousands right now. The other day I had Pepper our Labrador out for a walk and I snuck her up and let her jump about 20,000 of them. The wonder in her eyes trying to understand that she was really seeing that many birds was worth the mile long walk.

I hope they remain friendly! I'm not sure I would want them for near neighbors.

Apple, They kind of buzzed me the other night, but I liked hearing them fly by so close. Fortunately we don't walk up there very often.
Linda, thanks on his behalf. These are quite a ways away but they make a lot of noise.
