Although winter seems never ending this year, the forces of nature are at work nevertheless.
It is the time that the various sorts of ducks and gees are returning from wintering down south.
Last night I went for a ride to a migration corridor not far from here. Feel like coming along?
The migration corridor is near the Saint Lawrence river, where spring high water floods the fields. Lots of large birds in the sky
