Lots of Canada geese here in Oregon beginning to form up in V formations and head south. Never get tired of watching them.

STLMO, close to the rivers), we are seeing the Monarch butterflies flying too. We don't, unfortunately, see as many of them as we used to, I hope that it's not an ongoing sign of their specie's demise. I have always enjoyed the routines/rituals of Fall and then the Spring when they come back.
