Did you look up and see some birds flying in a "V'"-shape? suppose you wondlered what kind of birds they were, right? Weil, most iikeiy they were Canada geese comYing home again after spending the winter in the sunny south. Canada geese are very smart birds. They know that the winter wMl be long and coid. So, in the fali, hundreds of the geese gather in a special p lace. Then, with a fiap of their wings and loud honking they begin to fly *south. It is a very long trip. They must fiy across mouintaiýns, over cities and past thousands of miles of land and water, It takes them many days But each time they f ly south, they neyer become iost. The geese aiways-know the way because God creat- ed instinct in them. God made them so they wouid automaticaily know where to fly with- out ever becoming lost or mixed up. In the spring, the Canada geese corne back north to their home in Canada. They fly in "V"-shaped formation and hok as they ýgo. When they ,,reach'their c home, which is usuaily near water it is time to raise a iamily. The parents then set out to make their nest. It is made of twigs weeds and grasses andà is iined with tiny, soft, down feathers. The geese buiid the nest between the bulirus-hes- closeë -to the water's edge. The mother goose, or gander, lay~s four to ten eggs and keeps them warm by sitting on them. In a few weeks, the eggs begin to crack and thebaby geese hatch. To help the tiny bird make the first crack in the egg shel he has a special harci covering over his beak caiied an egg tooth. As the chick grows, the egg tooth faîls off. The tiny Canada geese grow so quickiy that before long the mother gander can take them for their first swimming lesson. First she goes into the water. Then- she will honk and q'uack tili the chicks foiiow her. One by one they hop into the water making a iittie spiash. Then she wiii swim and the baby geese will follow behind in a long line.
