Canadian Geese

I sit by park sometimes and it’s usually filled with Canadian Geese. I don’t see them. I hope they didn’t die with the bird flu or by hunters.

I hope so to. I was just by the pond and no geese. I’ll never know what happened but I’ve been here for two and a half years and this never happened before.

How did your operation go.?

I did a quick Google:

"Canada geese that winter in New York State, and other parts of the United States, do migrate north in the spring, returning to their breeding grounds in Canada and Alaska."

Hopefully that's what happened to them.

I'm not so sure. There's a golf course by me and I walked by a couple of times around a month ago and I heard gun shots and the geese flying away. I had a bad feeling because the geese started flocking to that area. I was by the pond yesterday and again no geese.

Can you contact your local ASPCA and report the situation or ask if they know what's going on?

That’s a good idea.

I’m upset. I think they were killed and not. By bird flu.

Gunshots in a park isn't good regardless. I think someone should notify the police.

It's too late for that. I read they changed the law this year regarding Canadian Geese. Prior to 2025 you were not allowed to kill them now you are. I don't think that they were shot, I think they were probably poisoned. I saw 4 babies on the golf course yesterday. That's not normal. Once they started to gather on the golf course I figured that was it. There were a lot of them.

They also mate for life.

It's a sad situation from the sounds of it.

Occasionally, where I am a large flock of Canadian geese will block traffic on streets and drivers just have to wait it out until they've crossed from one side to the other. LOL, they are so s l o w.

They are interesting animals. I don’t know how true this is but I always assumed it was the same flock at the pond but according to what i read Canadian geese don’t stay in one place too long except during molting season. That chance were they were different geese. They are constantly in flight.
