Here temps are rising into the 50's, the sun is poking through the clouds, and lots of birds are singing. Trees are budding, and the air smells good I feel like the flowers wiill be bursting out of the ground any minute now! And the Canada geese are flying north. A flock of about 35 landed near the duck ponds here and were out on the path. As I approached, they did not fly, but I walked right through them as though they were a buch of farm geese! This was by far my most personal encounter with these beautiful wild birds. Double-A |

Feeding bread to the fish is great fun.
Seattle has flowers year 'round.
There is no winter; “ winter ” is spring, I say. Tame geese is nothing, I know tame beavers. Ducks and squirrels run towards me ( looking for food ), not away from me. Feeding bread to the fish is great fun. |

AA, are you by any chance familiar with the pioneering work of Bill Lishman, the guy who pioneered flying *with* Canada geese in an ultralight plane? His work was the basis for the movie "Fly Away Home". This vid has links to other related work involving endangered species like cranes, helping them reestablish ancestral flyways. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_ZNHUNdrAA&NR=1 Flocks of Canada geese stop at our local RC flying field since it's on a huge grassy acreage bordered by water. |

Feeding bread to the homeless is great fun.
Speaking of tame ducks...
Although a homeless person might steal from you, he's more friendly because he needs a handout. |

He immediately took the money and spent it on feed for the pigeons in the park. Double-A |

A penthouse in Manhattan.
In lower Manhattan, any homeless thief could feed a pigeon;
but it'd take vast wealth and influence to house them ( the pigeons ). There are 7 billion people on this planet, and many of them would love to have a penthouse in Manhattan, driving a hummer ( or two ). |
