I arrived a bit after 2PM and found the usual Canada Geese, some apparently feeding out of sight along the creek. But an adult Bald Eagle came along and got them all up. There were no other kinds of geese with the Canadas. This bird knows when I'm coming. All I want to do is see if its hind toes were clipped (captive) or if it was ringed (wild). You see, Europeans put rings on birds; Americans band them. So if it has a ring, it must be from Europe, right? If anybody believes this jibberish, they're worse off that I am after being blanked twice. Sorry Norm.
