Some of the suburban areas near me have gotten so fed up with the mess these geese leave that they have formed teams to go out and steal the eggs in an attempt to reduce the population. (good luck on that one)

Still, a nice peaceful moment.

    The thought that a bunch of SUV driving surbanites are upset by the mess left by some geese is mildy amusing. Good luck to them if the geese find them messing with their nests. Geese are normally nasty when unprovoked. :D

    Excellent shot

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    That's pretty sad :cry Why don't they find something better to do? ne_nau.gif How can you destroy life after looking at this beautiful shot? People never stop to amaze me.... Animals are such an inconvenience? :bs

    Have your suburbanites considered exporting their excess geese to places like LA? We could sure use more photo opportunities like this onemwink.gif:D
    Thanks for sharing Ric

    Thanks, Harry. :D

    The whole idea of nest robbing seems totally ridiculous to me. Maybe a few pecked eyes, a turned ankle,...etc.clap.gif

    That's funny. I am fed up with the mess that surbanites are leaving. I'll take the geese. At least their mess can fertilize my yard. Nice light in the pic. thumb.gif

    Actually, Marina, the older I get the less amazed I become. That in itself is depressing.
