Leopold, Aldo. Sand County Almanac

Come High Water pg.25

Aldo Leopold’s Sand County Almanac is a very interesting book that talks and describes about many different things we never think about such as how some tools work and even about geese. In this one section called Come High Water he talks about how farms would get flooded due to the overflow of big rivers. While everything is flooded and animals are going crazy due to the high water levels here come the geese infiltrating the land. He describes the view of the land being taking over by their red tails and yellow bellies and while other animals are struggling they are fine and having fun. It just leaves me a feeling of hope.
