Canada Geese

Last winter we had a flock of Canada geese winter over on our pond.

This afternoon I watched a gaggle of Canada geese, six to be exact, fly over the neighbor's house and land in the pond. We've got a couple of resident grey geese who live here year round, but the Canadas are transient. Milady has a bottle of Grey Goose in the whiskey server, but I digress.

I wonder what's happening up north that those geese felt compelled to head south?

We have thousands and thousands of those crap factories here in the Seattle area. Each one dumps a pound of feces each day on the ground and in the water. In some areas they have gone far beyond nuisance to public health hazard and many local communities levy harsh fines on those caught feeding them. The have lost all fear of man around here and will attack adults as well as children thus making many parks unusable.

Roger that, Gerry. They also mate with escaped domestic geese, the offspring of which can't be killed for eating.

Sky rats, who needs them.

Our early goose season starts Labor Day weekend....
