The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 16, 2024

There are a number of large ponds near my area. It often looks like the geese are lost, flying around almost in circles.

Some areas now have geese staying the entire year, as they have gotten warmer Winters.

All I know is a big flock of Canadian geese has chased our home flock of Vegas geese off the lake. Grrr.

They’re coming in for a strafing run!

They saw you watching, they’re just messing with ya.

They probably know that Sully is flying nearby.

You can ID the Canada geese by their Canadian accent.

where I used to live, we had a pair with a few goslings. Every time they came to the yard, there was one less. I think the snakes were getting them :(

No Gladys. They just realized that they hadn’t left enough geese poop.

they changed their minds…

Birds Migrating in circles – like our politicians. Once called Hawks and wise Owls – Now called Coots, Loots, and Magpies.

Uh . . . . probably not Gladys .

The geese probably sense Mother Gargle is on the way and want to avoid her.

Haven’t seen any geese yet, just a few flocks of Sandhill Crane.

Probably their little GPS thingys were “recalculating”

The canada goose flocks have almost completely destroyed their home turf and are migrating south. They come into crop fields and decimate them. They use the local ponds as their toilets and change the chemical makeup of the lake which kills all the fish – they cover the sidewalks with slippery droppings causing liability issues for the business owners and attack people as they walk by – they are a hazard that need to be eradicated.

Climate change, baby!

it could be worse, they could be staying here with you… in your house. :J

It ain’t warm up here either right now or for the foreseeable future. The leader probably ate too much fermented grass and is a little woosey also known as drunk flying…….

They made a last minute decision to wait out the hurricane season.

Could be, Brutus.

I’ve seen Vs going every which way. I don’t think they know where they’re going.

That’s not a V, it’s the end of an arrow! >

Trivia question for the TBL-Verse: why is one side of the Flying V usually longer than the other? Answer: because there are more geese on that side. Duh. : )

If the geese stay for the winter, it isn’t because of that silly warming baloney, it’s because people feed them. As long as they get plenty of food, they will hang around all winter.

The just realized they left the oven on.

It’s so hot here that maybe the snowbirds will stay north this winter. (From Arizona)

It was hot everywhere.

“Live long and prosper, friends.”

Someone in the formation forgot to unplug the coffee pot.

Used to have them in Denver a lot, back 40 years ago. You’d drive by fields and see seas of black and white bedded down. Used to be the coolest thing. That part of Denver is many years gone, too bad.

They wouldn’t want to come here to Georgia if it’s warmth they’re looking for. It’s been unseasonably cold here. I’ve been running my space heater for about a week.
