Migratory Birds

Another sign of spring has arrived. The first Canada geese have arrived at Creamer's field, about .5 miles from our house. Dominik and I have taken nightly walks to see if we could catch the first sighting. Yesterday we saw our first pair of Canada Geese and today we saw 14 geese altogether. Within 5-7 days, I have been assured that counting will be impossible!

It's nice to live so close to the wide variety of wildlife that we find here. Somehow it makes you feel a little more connected to life and it's probably healthy to see a bear or a giant moose and truly feel small. It reminds us how inconsequential we are in the greater scheme of things and how tiny our little problems are.

Life is good in Fairbanks. The sun is now shining from 6:20 am to about 9:30 today...but in another week or so we'll be going from 6:00 am to 10:00. It's great! The sun feels very warm and the snow is on it's way out in a hurry.

I'll get some pictures of Creamer's field when it's more than jsut a handful of birds. We're going to visit frequently. It's dinner at Sarah's and a hockey game for Easter. More later.
