Why would a flock of geese have been flying southeast over a Northern California city?

Asked by Jeruba (55831points) July 22nd, 2020

As I was leaving a shopping center last evening at dusk, a flock of geese—about 15, honking lustily—passed overhead. I had a clear view because I was standing in the parking lot admiring the sunset.

At the time it seemed like they were going in an odd direction.

Checking the street map today, with the orientation of the store and the parking lot where I stood, I estimate they were flying on a southeasterly course.

Is this some weird climate thing, or normal geese behavior for July in California, or what? Were they just out for the evening and not migrating?
