Last night I went out on my roof (I'm an apartment dweller) to put seed
out for the Mourning Doves, anticipating they would be up for breakfast
before me.  It was a clear night, unusually starry for close-in
Georgetown.  As I was looking up to enjoy the stars, I saw a string of
lights approaching overhead.  Well, a V of lights.  That's what it
looked like, VERY visible yellow objects in the sky at 10:30 pm -- they
actually looked lit up.  I ran for my binoculars just to confirm they
were bird-shaped; couldn't discern much else.
Is this "lighted" appearance typical for night-migrating geese (or
whatevers?)  Or is it reflected lights of the city?
