GEESE BY THE THOUSANDS

there is some open water in the old south channel, just out my door. the geese start dropping in mid morning, and it goes on all day. the open water is a small area so they have to butterfly to drop in. a beautiful sight. then just about dusk they all go up in to the refuge for the night. the same thing is happening in the middle and north channels of the st.clair river also. anywhere there is a spot of open water. the channels are jammed with ice coming down from lake huron, and most of the canals are still froze solid with small open areas where the current is strong. the gas holes are as always, open.
