The population of Canada geese have become large around Chicago, and around Sioux Falls, SD. They occupy local ponds and lakes and become a hazard around airports. If they have year round open water and food, they spend the winter.
I've heard they like golf courses. I have the impression you are from time to time a golfer. Maybe not. But perhaps you have encountered them there. Their cousins, the brants, came through here a few times when I lived out in the country, but never these.....
They don't stay here, so they no doubt are starting to make plans to head south.
ReplyDeleteMany of them stay here all winter but I have not seen any flocks heading south yet.
ReplyDeleteSame here, many of them stay all summer but most head north.
