Morning time on the eastern side of Camanche Iowa one can be easily be awaken to the sound of a thousand honks that seem never ending. An outsider at first would be astonished at all the different variety's and immense sounds, and honks created by these elegant creatures. But on the otherside of the spectrum a native would be able to tell you the truth, that these sounds are actually a cruel, annoying way of nature making sure we have to get out of bed in the morning. I could describe these sounds to you as non stop mating of a couple creating the most annoying sound know to man. So next time you here the sound of geese tooting away, make sure and think of what harm they are actually causing to other people.
