Hi Barney,

This is quite a photo. A pretty large flock. When I first moved to  
Pennsylvania about 25 years ago there was a large plot of land about  
3 miles from my home. It was about a 15 acre plot and during certain  
times of year every foot of the plot had Canada Geese occupying it.  
My guess there were 10,000 or more. That land now has a large strip  
mall. I often wondered where the geese went. I think you got them.

Regards,
Len
