Welcome?

I saw this gaggle of Canada Geese feeding by the linden tree and it seemed to be 3 adults and 9 young ones. One family!

Then another, slightly younger family waddled out of the bushes and I counted 7 goslings in that group, which means at least 16 new geese have been added to our goose population in the last 2 months. Probably more! Any way we can tax them? They have no natural enemies, so perhaps we need a wolf family or two in Stony Brook.

So nice! We used to get them in our yard, we had an area that formed a pond when it rained, they loved it!

Oh no!!!! Soon to be unwelcome visitors for sure - too many quickly make for a mess ....

If you put moth ball flakes on the grass, they won't go there, we do it up in NY all the time and it works

Good tip, Kristen.

They spoil the lawns for walking wherever they live.
