Just spotted a single Canada Goose flying over my rear deck in Beachwood. My first impression was of a raptor -- a large, dark, GLIDING silhouette in the edge of my peripheral vision. What turned out to be a Canada Goose continued in a steady, bowed-winged glide for a half mile at an altitude constant altitude (maybe 600-1000 feet), before it was obscured from my view. I'd never seen a Canada Goose glide except for that last second before touching down, or a few missed strokes in formation aloft. Curious.
