One year I had a fledging wheat crop in its infancy....3-4 tall. A flock of snows were migrating and decided to stop by and fill up on groceries. Half a dozen times I would go out in the field and shoo them off and they would just circle around a hundred or feet or so high, wait for me to leave and return. I gave up.......they didn't.
On another occasion, must have been a hundred or so snows going no where. They were scattered and just milling around at a couple hundred feet high, in one general area. I didn't know why....and still don't. Were they lost, waiting for more to show up, looking for a place to roost (in mid morning) or looking for a place to graze. Was quite a sight.
This spring a pair of Canadians circled my ponds and left. Next thing I know here comes mommy, 4 goslings and poppy, walking across the field headed for the pond area. They stayed here and as time passed, not much at that, the goslings were developing their grown up wings and would practice touch and gos on my pond. One day I witnessed a fly over of the family....all 4 goslings survived....and haven't seen them since. Lake Bonham, north of Bonham, Tx. has a large population of Canadians and I assume they joined the families there. The population is quite large and surely a problem for the lake side land owners.....but they are fun to watch when the fish aren't biting.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
