    Nearly midnight and there are geese flying overhead

    An awful lot of migration occurs at night Toddy. It may be a defense against predators or the cooler temps prevent small bodies from overheating, or it may be that the earths magnetic field is less "cluttered" at night. Or it may be something else entirely.
