Geese -love 'em or hate 'em?

Hate 'em, invasive species destroying crops and killing off native fish & aquatic critters.

They used to migrate through twice a year, now they're so over populated they're settled everywhere. The best defense is a Border Collie, who won't kill them, just keep them in the water until they give up and leave.

They're mean, loud, nasty creatures that constantly shit everywhere. Open season would be nice.

I read not too long ago that there are two populations of geese. Some migrate and some don't. It's the ones that don't migrate that are the problem.

Picture I took down at the reflecting pool by the Lincoln Memorial:

True, the ones that are migrating and just stopping overnight, only make a little mess, only do a little damage. Once they decide to hang out for a winter, the chicks born there won't migrate.
