The geese and swans arrived here in Interior Alaska over two weeks ago....about a week early than the average time.

You're so lucky to see the beautiful scene of the wildlife.


I've no house in the city, just a camping tent in the wild.

I live near a natural flyway in the Canadian Prairies and we have had 1000's of raptors, 1000's of geese, ducks, etc...flying northward, during the past couple of months.

I read reports of some farm fields out here functioning as temporary rest areas, for 4-4500 Tundra Swans on their way to their summer homes.

Went on a photo foray last week....about 30 miles away from my city...saw about 70-80 American White Pelicans swimming and feeding on the mighty Red River.

More flying in every day. They nest on lakes, not too far north of my city.

On the other hand....the Snowy White Owls have almost all flown north from their winter homes around here.

Birds do add a lot to our lives.

I started noticing the RV's with Canadian plates heading that way too a few weeks ago. The snowbirds and the Geese both know when to head back North.
