Hey, you geese! Get outta here!<\/p><\/div>\n

Hey, everybody,<\/p>\n

Happy Spring!\u00c2\u00a0 (or Happy Autumn, if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, like my friend Merisha :)\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve got cherry trees blooming, daffodils popping up everywhere, and it’s almost time for the famous Skagit Valley tulips <\/a>to be in full flower!\u00c2\u00a0 (they look even cooler from the air… or so I’ve been told!)<\/p>\n

Another sign of spring:\u00c2\u00a0 my arch-nemeses, the Canada geese, are back!\u00c2\u00a0 There is a pair in particular who are trying to nest on our dock.\u00c2\u00a0 Just like last year, and the year before that, and so forth. I think it’s the same pair, anyway. (but what do I know?\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not a bird dog!)<\/p>\n

So, I keep trying to gently (?) remind them that they should nest elsewhere, but they don’t listen!\u00c2\u00a0 The picture above shows me trying to be persuasive… without a lot of luck, I might add.<\/p>\n

It’s life as usual, therefore, here at Seattle Seaplanes<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Why don’t you come fly with us to celebrate spring?<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/em><\/p>\n
