Would you believe we have Canada geese in east Texas. There is a gaggle that lives in the big pond by the hospital in Athens, TX. My parents live about 15 miles away & some of them come to their lake. It is so cool to see them. I always thought they only lived up north. Guess they are winter Texans too. The ones at the hospital stay year round. We also have pelicans at Lake Palestine & we are at least 250 miles from the coast.
