A Gathering

The great marshes along the Chesapeake are almost void now of their summer colors and the stillness of the mornings will soon be broken as their winter guests arrive. What is it that calls the great flocks of ducks, snow geese, and Canada geese to the Chesapeake Bay?  

Why is it this particular morning that the flocks begin to arrive as the sun breaks through the low hung clouds. One can only look upward and imagine there is some great force that orchestrates this journey from the distant Far North to the  Salt marshes of the Chesapeake.
