Un-Feathered Nests

The geese have migrated taking many songbirds with them. Some Canada Geese have chosen to stay in the parking lots by the busy shops, ensconced within their un-feathered nests. All day they direct the traffic, attack cars if they come too near. Night and day we Ohioans try to ignore them, but the geese have fluffed up their goosy egos, and will bar the way of weary travelers until they choose to waddle disdainfully away. Honk at them and they honk back. In Florida the songbirds party-on giving not a thought to the still migrating, still honking.
