Sounds like Canada Geese, Chris.  I love hearing them.

  • Thank you guys a lot. UJ  I did see some water fowl I can't identify them. They looked like very large ducks but black, white and grey if I remember right.

Looking Good..!!

I've been there many times, Chris.   That group is looking good.  See any eagles or water fowl?   It may be a bit early for them.

San Joaquin county in NorCal wine country, the delta here goes down into the San Francisco Bay where the Golden Gate Bridge is & up through Sacramento into the hills in the other direction. There’s a lot of gold rush routes by land & water here in NorCal? There’s an old steamboat that was converted to a restaurant down on the original waterfront area here in my town, kinda kool that those were marvels of their time not so long ago.

Thanks for the like. Where is your county? I don't know anything about other than where we were at used to be the Missouri River before it was channeled by the corps of engineers and the small pond we were at was an excavation site.

That’s kool, my county was known for steamboats back in the days, in fact my town was a stop off for supplies during those times?
