Sometimes birds that are shot and wounded, don't die right away.

Coyote got the one legged goose, killed 2 and carried one off. He will be back in a week or 2. Look around the water line for tracks.
You can get a camera but it won't save your geese. You might get some pictures but you'll probably never see the yote.

Just an update ....
I never learned why I found a dead goose in the pond. No marks on it, and I haven't observed any predators even with game cameras. Or why a different goose wound up with a missing leg.
All geese are now gone-- I presume they flew to Canada for the summer. Except one lone goose, which stayed behind. It's wandering around and honking as if to say: "where is everyone?"
Finally, a few days ago I noticed a turtle in the pond. First ever. No idea where it came from. Shell from head to tail is about 7" long. (We don't have snapping turtles here.)

Could be the mate to the dead one.
No place to go. No desire to go without.
