I know anecdotes aren’t great evidence for climate change, and there are warm years, but normally I’d start seeing them in like late September! Just saw the first couple flocks today.

    I’m in the south where the geese tend to go, and I haven’t seen any yet. There is less and less need to migrate it would seem. Wonder how long it’ll take before the migrating instinct goes away.

      I bet bird researchers would have a field day, at least. They could see if the migration south is instinctual or if it’s a learned behavior passed down.

      Anyone know about if you had a whole flock of geese born and raised independently away from other geese if they still migrate?
