I believe that something that we don't immediately understand is happening here. I live in Mississippi and have noticed that more and more Canadian geese are migrating here and just never go home. Sometimes a whole "squadron" of the critters will fly past and often several times in a day. And this is not a wintertime event. It happens during summer as well.

There are lots of ponds in the area and they like hanging around those ponds. I suppose that the fishing is good there. I have already heard stories about people killing Canadian geese because they are depleting local fishing. I don't like hearing that, but I do understand the problem.

I don’t think geese eat fish, do they?

Canada Geese don't eat fish. They are grazers.

Massed Canada geese foul the ponds which kills off the fish.

Nonmigrating geese are oversized pests.

You're probably referring to double-crested cormorants who are eating the fish, not Canada geese.

But, yes, many populations of Canada geese have "stopped" migrating. They are becoming residents up and down the American coast, and in places inland too.

They seem to be very adaptable, and their numbers are growing.
