Ac I war crosslng theechool yard oa my ray to vorkthlg mornlng t heard a famlllarEound.

I ltke to thtnk that weflrst raw Canada Geese drnlngthe early fortles, ln Bamfleld.We certalnly dld see them thereand it tg dtfflcult to lmaglne.whEre we mlght have soen thembe&Ig that dms. lvfisn used to$sy that tte hxnrnlngblrds rodesonth an t&e backs of the geese.I dontt knor rrhere she got thtrtnforrnadon, but she belleved ltwas true and, of cour$e, vebelleved lt too. Itve neYerchecked it out, perhaps beca$seit please* me to lmaglne etlthose hummlngblrde travelllngsou& ln sucb style"
However, even wlthout tbehunmlngbtrde, the Canada Geercsre a comfordng elglrt and &esound of thelr honklng gtves mesuch a thrlll that I have tocaeh my breatb. I hope lt stllalways be drat way.
