Geese- For the first time today I realized how FAST those fuckers fly
I was on my Saturday jog up here in New England and there were many groups of geese flying today - I stopped for 60 seconds (its at the ocean so there is alot of open sky) and I just watched them- and holy cow, they really fly amazingly fast! They turned into a little speck from being right above me..
I was kind of in awe and it was for once a pure moment and not one of me worried about the election/life/dying, ect-
And I do not think the term is group- What are they - a flock? A gaggle?

I love them. I don’t care how much they poop in my parents’ condo complex.

Yes, waterfowl are surprisingly fast in the air. I'm always dumbstruck when I see a swan flying.

A "gaggle" when on land or water, and a "wedge" or "skein" when in flight.

They do fly super fast.
The crows in our neighborhood also whoosh by. Sometimes they sound like bats.

R5 - I wish. Its been a bad 5 years for a multitude of reasons. But my 30's were great- I am grateful that I had 10 good years from 2010-2020!!!!
