Orderly Geese of Ainsworth

They just need a little more drilling, they're not holding their ranks as well as they could.

These Canada geese are resting at Shilo Lake.←That's my cute way of saying the middle of the pasture at Shilo Ranch floods whenever we have heavy rains. The land forms a natural trough and with the slow-draining clay soil around here, the flooding can linger for weeks, although it diminishes from lake to pond, then to puddle, then to mud. Then another heavy rain. Must have been inconvenient for the people who actually farmed that land. What do I know, maybe they just pastured cows there. There are still remnants of old wooden posts and wire-mesh fence in spots along the modern steel-bar fence (I just made up that term, no idea what it's really called).
