Today I saw my first "V" of Canada geese headed  south over the CT  
River flyway, only to be followed by wave after wave of others  
following their well-worn path. A welcoming, primordial sound in the  
autumn air.

A good vantage to watch and hear migrating geese is  by kayak on  
Montshire bay at Foley Point, away from the roar of traffic across  
the bridge. Foley Point will be coming up as an agenda item at  a  to  
be announced Norwich Select Board meeting. If you feel strongly about  
preserving the point as a public park  for bird watchers and others  
please attend and speak up. The idea of preservation for this lovely  
place is alive and well and awaits the action of the select board,  
whose members are given by Vermont statute the authority to designate  
and lay out public parks.
