I have a solution to Wednesdays. They should lead right into Friday. But that probably would not keep us employed very long. So today I will fill my Thermos with a big cup of Door County Cherry Crème Coffee and get some work done.
Lately I have noticed the Canada Goose flocks getting larger in numbers. This is the start of them all joining up to head South for the winter. I think geese are one of the more interesting birds to learn about and watch. I found it very interesting that the geese are monogamous throughout their lives unless their mate dies. Humans could learn a lesson from them!
Canada geese are known for their seasonal migrations. Most Canada geese have staging or resting areas where they join up with others. Their autumn migration can be seen from September to the beginning of November.The early migrants have a tendency to spend less time at rest stops and go through the migration much faster. The later birds usually spend more time at rest stops. Some geese return to the same nesting ground year after year and lay eggs with their mate, raising them in the same way each year. This is recorded from the many tagged geese which frequent the East Coast.
So how can a goose know where to go, when humans need a compass, a GPS unit and a map. The answer is this. God made them unique and designed them that way.
Genesis 1:20-23 Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.
Only God would wire a bird to know when to fly South and how to get there.
Have a great day.
