--Boundary_(ID_JLKYu5O/Ti4qaaOr7dg7zA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Here in the Wolfville area, Canada geese can be seen or heard flying at nearly all times of day and night. I think that most of these flights are non-migrations, or are just local migrations from feeding to roosting places -- this happens too at Windsor, where geese are perhaps even more likely to be in the dead of winter -- and I'll bet the Windsor birds sometimes fly to the South Shore or from there back to Windsor and Wolfville.
