Just now seeing geese flying south
Just now seeing geese flying south
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.
There's lots of fucked up weather patterns that HAVE to be messing with the air currents.
We should be getting more winds from the north but its been stupid warm going into fall and the southern winds have been very strong and consistent for at least a month. Any geese trying to make their way down south to me would have burned tons of calories trying to fight a 40 mile an hour wind for hundreds and hundreds of miles. Smart of them to wait a bit this year.
November 3rd and I'm in shorts and a t-shirt where 20 years ago I'd be in a big warm sweater.
It's ok tho the galaxy brains at futurology are believers of Rex Tillersons idea that they can engineer a way out. They can capitalism their way out of a capitalist caused crisis. Any day now.
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?
