bc.gold 3,403 #1 Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Geese from various summer feed and breeding grounds gathering for a yearly ritual - speed dating. Thousands of geese will soon form a dating circle, other flocks coming in from other directions join in often you'll see groups departing from the circle heading off in a southerly direction. When i first seen a flock circle was puzzled then it dawned on me these were dating circles where the young ones born during the summer months are now pairing up. Next part of the puzzle, how do these geese from the various feeding grounds know where to meet in the fall. Edited October 10, 2020 by bcgold 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
