Noisy Liftoff
|
The sky fills with geese as they lift off of a farmer’s field north east of Provost. These wild birds appeared a bit skittish—likely because hunters had been out in blinds trying to bag some of them. The annual migration will see hundreds of thousands of these birds head towards Mexico and surrounding area to wait out the cold Canadian winter. The birds average speed is 40 to 50 miles per hour, usually flying at an altitude of 3,000 feet. There are normally between 100 and 1,000 geese in a flock. ©Provost News Photo.
