Did You Know?

Canadian geese are known to fly in a "V" shaped as they migrate across the county.

The lead goose in the "V" cuts through the air making it easier for the rest of the geese behind him.

As that lead goose becomes tired, he will drop off and join one of the sides and a new lead goose will take over.

This is done several times as they are flying long distances.

So if you look up in the sky and see a "V" shape of geese and one side is longer than the other, do you know what that means?










There are more geese on that side.

Thank you for that in-formation Marval..

I was just winging it to post that bit of information.

It's ok, marval. Don't get into a flap about it.

That caused a bit of a flap.

All geese do that. They change leader at regular intervals. The V formation makes it less effort on the following birds in the formation. So they change leader as explained.
