Winnipeg, Canada

Warming weather and melting ice (several weeks earlier than usual) has been accompanied by the first flights of Canada Geese returning from southern wintering grounds… I was delighted to see and hear flights of hundreds of the big birds squawking overhead as I drove in to the city this morning—positive confirmation that we have all survived another winter (and two days before the equinox to boot). Welcome back…
