Milt, nice imagery in your haiku, it's always a pleasant surprise for me when I see Canadian geese fly in that formation.

Yes, it is, especially in my part of the country. But, other birds, I have observed, also fly in that formation. I have often wondered how they get together and decide where they are going! (chuckling)
