In Tennessee they're so many they are cross breeding with other lines. Time to call open season before disease hits and does wipe them out.

Those geese are still all over Charlotte. They seem to have adapted well to city life, crossing streets with impunity and crapping everywhere. Most seem to stay all year. What happened to the migratory instinct?

I don't know why these damned thing are endangered. It seems they are everywhere nowdays, making a huge mess. A large local company has a lake on its property and they have to have a border collie to keep the geese away. The Kansas City Zoo had to get a permit to have a number of them removed because of the mess, plus they were attacking children. The local bleeding hearts were furious that the zoo had them killed and donated to food pantries. They should have been killed along with the geese.

Greensboro has its share too. They really like camping out at the Wal-Mart off Battleground Avenue. I was in Williamsburg, Va. a couple of months ago and saw some geese there. They're breeding well this year too.

As for the Michigan geese, I saw about 30 of them last week at the Metropark along Lake St. Clair just waddling around like they owned the place. I also saw a family of swans in the lake. Now those are birds I don't see everyday.
