I'm sure. There's no noticeable organization to their flying--no V. Here's a somewhat blurry picture, but you can see their long legs trailing.

Listen, man, geese aren't beholden to your pedestrian ideas about "borders" and "nationality." They've, like, totally transcended such notions. I mean, the whole act of flight is a metaphor for transcendence! You probably see geese flying and think they're trying to get from one place to another. No way, bro! They're transcending. Geese are totally trying to teach you the art of transcendence and all you can think about is contrived political borders.

Free your mind, dude!

We don't hunt them, sillies. Cranes don't taste as good as squirrels.

Also, thanks, G. I'm pretty sure that's the best picture I've ever taken. I bought a new camera in preparation for my big move and I was trying it out.

Two things O.

1. Cranes do not stop at the border. Neither should you.

2. However. In other states you can't hunt them.

Yep, there's some great crane

Yep, there's some great crane hunting in Indiana.

But seriously, fab pic. Nothing like leaving a place to make you appreciate it.
