mysterious

Three or four flocks of Canada geese heading south over Middlebury. Probably more than 100 geese altogether. I was in one of the back fields the other day, and came across two hawks on the ground no more than 100 feet from me. I approached them, and they flew away, but not very far. I have since seen them flying together in the back.
The other night I heard a loud sound in the back. It sounded like a squeaky screen door opening. Immediately afterwards there was the familiar sound of an owl. I'm sure it was two owls communicating with each other. Sometimes the workings of the natural world are pretty mysterious.
