On Saturday, March 22, evening around 9:00pm I was outside and heard geese approaching from the south. The sounds were not the familiar honking of Canada Geese but a busier range of vocalizations. The weather was overcast and drizzle but I could make out a large flock of several hundred birds in a wavy V formation high overhead.
