snow geese as they migrate from the Arctic....
right here in our community!
**After some research, I believe they are
actually RETURNING to their northern home
where nesting takes place from May to August.
Hard to know for sure....

My friend, Jane, spotted these two visitors
with our Canada geese this morning.
According to my bird guide,
they are snow geese
on their migratory route.
Good spotting, Jane!

The area geese are feeding where
the snow has melted.

Is this little bird checking out an
already-constructed nest??

I spent lots of time there as a child.

GO STEELERS!!

GO STEELERS!
SUPER BOWL 2011

Our grandson has decided to use his birthday as an opportunity to help children worldwide. PEACE PASSERS collects soccer balls for children. He will ask the boys invited to his birthday party to bring a soccer ball instead of a gift for him. The soccer balls are then deflated, a pump is included with them, and they are sent to a collection point. We are proud of him and hope others will follow his lead.
