The Canada Geese usually leave this salt marsh in the late afternoon or early evening. When you hear them honking in chorus, you know they are about to take off. These Canada Geese took a leisurely quarter mile swim to the end of the channel, turned around, started honking, took off and are getting airborne. The marsh grass is just turning into its fall colors while the late afternoon September sun gives colorful water reflections.
A Green Heron heard me and took a peek.
