beautiful photo, Alan
When you see geese flying in a V, one side is always longer than the other. Do you know why that is?
That side has more geese.

A truly stunning observation on the V - thank you captain obvious

That side has more geese.

Huh, I would have thought it had to do with wind direction and drafting.

BTW, Debbie. that moth is a stunner. Exceptional find and photo of North America's largest moth with a wingspan of up to 7 inches on the female.

Thanks Eric! They certainly are beautiful moths.

Good capture! Do you know what they are?

My contributions for W.W. are a cecropia moth, Canada geese, Cliff swallows gathering mud for nesting, cedar waxwing & osprey with fish.

Nice series, Debbie. Those two birds in Craig's image are Green-tailed Towhees.
