A Moment of Awe- Geese Migrating
About this episode
The episode reflects on the awe-inspiring migration of Canada Geese and the connection to nature experienced during this journey.
Our connection to nature is captured in appreciation for the journey these birds make. This is a group of stranglers; the bulk of the migration has passed. They flew overhead yesterday while I was playing with my grandkids. Every time I see a flock like this pass overhead, I am in awe of their navigational instincts. These are Canada Geese, one of three or four species that migrate south along the Pacific flyway. They will cover 3200 km to 5600 km, depending on their starting point (2000 to 3500 miles), flying from Arctic Canada to the southern U.S. and Mexico for the winter. With flight speeds of 64 km to over 100 km per hour (40-70 miles per hour), a built-in GPS and navigational devices, they face every obstacle humans have created, plus those the weather presents. After wandering the world for two years, the first thing I did on my return home was go camping in a cow pasture because my father and mother were banding birds.
