rain goosestresses
ornit. краснозобая гагара (the behaviour of the red-throated loon was used to forecast the weather; birds flying inland or giving short cries predicted good weather, while those flying out to sea or giving long, wailing cries predicted rain. In the Orkney and Shetland islands of Scotland, the species is still known as the "rain goose" in deference to its supposed weather-predicting capabilities. Wiki inyazserg)
