i hear the geese call to one another throughout the night
and in the morning they fly gracefully toward the dawn,
still vocal, continuing their stories in flight–
in the afternoon, they swim against the current,
test the waters with strong beaks, preen oily feathers,
and leisurely resume the ongoing dialogue–
how i wish i could join the easy conversation
Lovely photo, and the ‘conversations’ sound great – but I assume you are fairly distant from them? Because they are really really noisy! 🙂

They are really noisy. I can hear them through the night. I’m far enough away that their sounds are comforting, although at times they do wake me up. Still, I love them.

OK – That makes sense 🙂 It is when they are on my roof having an argument with the “neighbours” at 4 am – that’s when I don’t love them so much! 🙂

I think they gossip, but there is romance in the thought of geese flying north in the winter and south in the summer. Given they mate forever, maybe they are merely chatting with their mates about their new home, kids, etc. –Curt

These geese stay here all year round. I find them completely and totally fascinating, and imagine you are right and they’re talking about their babies and their home…. 🙂
