are flying the coop (the effin things woke me up last night - noisy little bastiches), and the leaves are falling and changing colour, and the squirrels are in hyperdrive...
Around this time of year, right through the winter, we are bombarded by Canadian Geese. It's amazing, the numbers of them that arrive and hang around. I read that Long Island is the last land stop for migrating birds before they do days upon days of flying over the ocean. So we get a ton of them, crapping all over the place.
I only really like them when they pair off in spring and have their cute little yellow fuzzy geeselings. But give them a few weeks and they start to look really ugly.
the golden plover from alaska have started arriving here in hawaii too. they're the smallest birds, but the fact that they can fly the hawaii-alaska is phreakin' amazing!!
