Early in the morning the sky in Oregon can be pretty. I hope we are done with the chilly, below freezing temperatures for a while.
A few days ago when it was foggy, I heard a loud honking up in the sky. As I looked up, expecting to find Canada Geese, I saw a band of graceful Snow Geese flying towards the east.
As a Field Guide to the Birds of Western America says, they are very vocal in flight, a lot louder than Canada Geese. They are abundant in western states in winter, while in summer they move up to the north such as Canada and the Arctic.
Here is a backyard friend who also appreciates the warming weather.
