  1. Weather-Lore - Ducks and Geese

    Share Share Post
    "Ducks and Geese"
    When a duck or a goose stands on one leg, it is a sign of rain.
    "Birds"
    When a robin stays in the middle of a bush in the morning, it is a sign of rain, and when it sings on the top of a bush, it is a sign of good weather.
