Well, I do, of course! These poor little guys were all fluffed up and cold yesterday during the blowing snow. I wonder how those little guys get by all through the cold North Dakota winters. Certainly they must be good at finding shelter. In this case they were fluttering around by Farmer’s Livestock and settling into the bushes when the wind came up.

You can get bird feeders cheap at Wal Mart and big bags of bulk seed there or at GTA on east Broadway avenue. I’m considering some sort of heated water dish for them in my backyard, too. Together we can make a difference.

These deadbeat geese hanging out north of Bismarck don’t fly south for the winter. They’ve found warmer water near the refinery and power plant and have carved out a nice little niche for themselves here in our fair cities.

Some days you can find them in the corn fields south of Bismarck, other days they’re occupying a sandbar by the marina. Today they’re just hanging out in a field north on River Road. Why fly south when you’ve got all this?
