Geese are not inherently beautiful birds. It is amazing, however, to see them in such large numbers. I enjoy hearing their muted honk as they fly high above me, onward to a warmer place.

Duck, Duck, Goose...Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose, Goose
Every fall Lubbock is invaded by thousands of geese flying south for the winter. The pictures below were taken at a pond a few blocks from our apartment. Hundreds of geese were resting in the playa lake, incessantly honking. Every two or three minutes 40 of 50 birds would take flight at once and resume their journey.
