Well, not all of them lay eggs. Screwing and pooping yes :rotfl:

Eggs for breakfast !

So a lot of screwing, egg laying and pooping... Sounds like normal behavior for a lot of creatures on this earth.

Yes, but geese are the only creature that leaves mountains of poop in my backyard.

These things are on the move big time. I've probably seen a thousand or more today. One flock I'd estimate at over 200 and there were 7 or 8 smaller flocks.

Another day of mass Goose movement.


Must be close to Spring.

Goose movement is a sure sign that Spring is coming to Lower Uncton!

The Mallards do nothing but mate all day and all night. The females get as many as possible males to mate with them. I've seen them with a train of 9 or 10 males waiting in line. And when those are done, she'll go around teasing up another bunch of horny males. Geeze!

.

I wonder if that's why there is a "Mallard" travel trailer.....you know for that trailer trash?

Bowel movement or flight movement? When it comes to geese the latter is better. I luck out with migratory geese, the ones here stay in the saltwater and nest down the beach somewhere. Never on my property. Always an aerial show when the bald eagles go after the goslings. The eagles seldom get one as they dive underwater.

This works, but only temporally. LOL

Wow, a year to the day and I'm seeing them again. Quite a few over the last few days when weather permits.

I have not seen any yet. My waterfront has been the northern home of a few hundred that nest and raise their younguns here. The rest continue all the way up to Canada and merely stop by. Always interesting to watch the babies dive underwater to avoid the bald eagles talons.

Maybe I need a few eagles to rid my lake and yard of the poo machines also known as geese.

Resident geese or migratory? Mine are migratory and they head south every year as they should. I am on saltwater, so big processing plant for the waste.

Resident poo makers. It gets on the lawnmower tires, on your shoes, on the dog (now passed away), it is even on the streets in our neighborhood. I have dealt with beavers, coyotes, etc at our rural property and I have never encountered a creature as nasty as a goose.

Okay, I understand now. Ours fight for their lives and those that survive migrate away as nature intended. Big difference.

Maybe not nastier than a goose, but they call seagulls, "sh%t a quart's" for a good reason.

The funny part is we did not have resident geese until the last 10 or so years. Passing through and visiting temporarily is wonderful but like in-laws they need to leave before they create a mess. ��

My seagulls are not a problem. In may avatar they were on deck feeding on salmon scraps after California sea-loins were decimating returning Washington chum salmon. (Another story entirely). Now there is an animal I could see less of.

Park Ranger told me Canada geese with not migrate south if there is open water and ample food. That was in Chicago where they keep a few ponds open, full of flying sh*t machines. They destroy golf courses!

Who needs golf courses?
