Fran was focussed when she caught Mr. Canada here just taking a break.   She tells us it was one of the most unusual things she’s ever seen.   The goose was just standing there, taking a break on the roof of their shop.   Does anyone else see the resemblance between the Canada goose neck and the goose-neck lamp?   Thanks for the chuckle Fran.
DID YOU KNOW?    Geese fly in a V formation because:
It conserves their energy.   Each bird flies slightly above the bird in front, this reduces wind resistance.
Also, the birds take turns being in the front, and fall back when they get tired.   That way, the geese can fly for a long time before they have to stop and rest.
PLUS:   When in a V formation, it is easy to keep track of every bird in the group.
Fighter pilots often use this formation for the same reason.
