The Birds Are Back! Migratory Flocks Landing on Kenai Flats

I wish I had brought my camera with me the other day.  As I drove through the Kenai Flats (our local name for the river and ocean fed estuary wetland, nestled right below the Diamond M Ranch Resort), I happened to come upon a great reunion party.  Huge flocks of Canadian geese, ducks and other migratory birds were all coming in from their various Southern destinations, all at the same time.  The air was filled with the sense of rejoicing as the birds flew in and around and among each other, calling out, excited and anticapatory.  I'm not sure that a camera would have been able to do it justice.  It was absolutely beautiful.
