You're right about the North Platte ...Gorgeous! You're right about the North Platte being a major flyway. I think you're supposed to be able to see Sandhill Cranes migrating through there. I've always found the sound of migrating geese to be primevally moving...both sad and uplifiting at the same time. We have smaller flocks of Canada Geese spooling through here...wonder how many other commuters see them flying over the highway in the early a.m. Whenever they fly over my house, honking and gabbling, i feel like it's a special blessing from the natural world.quiltcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957819126177446578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-22688550041067996892010-03-04T02:51:52.711-05:002010-03-04T02:51:52.711-05:00Your husband is SO wise about not staring upwards ...Your husband is SO wise about not staring upwards etc . . . Strangely, I heard geese flying over and honking yesterday. Canada Geese as well I suspect. They sometimes stop off by the pond at the top of the hill or the one down the valley a little, to rest up before flying southwards again, but these appear to have kept going. Snow Geese too - reminds me of Paul Gallico's book. <br /><br />Your mention of Ogallala reminds me of that wonderful series Lonesome Dove. Gus's sweetheart Clara lived on the river Platte near Ogallala . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
