A Beautiful Fall Day before Rain Arrives

We visited the nearby wetland  one more time before the rainy season arrived the next day.  Thousands of Canada Geese flew in, crisscrossing in the sky, and landed on a small pond.  In no time,  the pond was overcrowded.

Some started walking on the shore with their young ones in tow.

"We have a little one for this fall migration to

south.  We have to make more rest stops."

As I walked along a larger pond, I heard a high-pitched chattering noise, a sign of a Belted Kingfisher.

"The geese are making noise all over.  Now it's my turn."
