Friday's sunset

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??

This is the home of my ancestors--I think 5
generations--in
Bristol, TN, which was sold and has been restored.
I spent lots of time there as a child.
