This morning I was walking across the parking lot at work when I heard the noise of geese. It was cold and the sky was gray and overcast. There were several goose formations flying over -- magnificent to see. There is a storm coming this weekend and for some reason they were heading north.
It's a mystery why they say geese "honk." Maybe when you are right up close to one, that's what they sound like. But when a flock of geese flies overhead, they make a musical chirping sound.
When I went to look for a picture to dress up this post, one of the google results I clicked on tried to put "exploit.JS.XMLPars.d" onto my computer. So this will not have a picture, unless I get a chance to take one myself.

That's one of my favorite sounds too, Lil Sis. Canadian Geese fly "honking" over Merced before they get to Corvallis. I usually can't turn away till they're out of sight and hearing.
One time I was kayaking Lake Yosemite with friends and we found some Canadian geese nesting on an island there. I counted 30-something huge eggs. Cool.
