This is wonderful! I don’t know who wants to belong more–the bird or that little branch hanging on for dear life.

I didn’t think of the branch :-) But yes, they do hang on in the most precarious places. They especially love reclaiming old wooden ruins, as here, with the process somewhat more advanced, in the Graveyard of Ships—

My area (southern region of New Jersey) is full of geese, and it’s getting close to the time of year where they start migrating. In December and late November, you can see multiple flocks of them flying south for the winter. It’s pretty cool.

Yes, the formations of them flying overhead can be very impressive—
