                             On the Wing

In Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay there is one event in October of every year that uniquely signals the approach of winter and that is the return of the Canada Geese to our corn fields and waterways. You can hear them on the wing far off before you can see them. They fly in high “V” shaped formations honking to one another as they go. Hearing them for the first time in the fall is a kind of bookmark to the year and a confirmation that the world goes on as it has for countless years.

I enjoy watching the “V” formations of these determined creatures as they cross the sky. The individual birds jockey for position in the “V”. One bird will fall off from the exhausting duty of leading the formation and another one would screw up its courage and move to the apex of the “V”. The “V”s themselves are not regular. One wing of the “V” may be perfectly straight while the other wing is broken and bent as birds adjust their positions. Often one wing is longer than the other. There have been times during the fall or early spring while I have been crossing the 4 mile span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge that I have seen ten or more flights of geese working their way across the sky.

Some winter mornings when I am walking the dog he and I can hear the pop, pop of hunters shooting at geese at the water’s edge a mile or two away sounding much like corks being pulled from wine bottles. I wonder at the patience of these hunters waiting in the cold damp air for a flight of geese to come into range. I suspect that the experience is made all the more tolerable by a nip or two of whiskey or brandy. I guess the hunters are motivated in their effort as much by the fellowship they share as they are by the hunting, maybe a fellowship not unlike that exhibited by their targets.

If I owned a winery I would consider developing a wine bottle label depicting a winter scene with flights of geese on the wing crossing a blue-gray winter sky and below icy water, fields of corn stubble and maybe at the water’s edge hunters peering out from their blinds at their prey on the wing. I would like to pull the cork of that bottle of wine and toast my Maryland memories of flights of geese on the wing.
