Honk, If You Like Geese!

"Uncle-in-Law" and spouse lived in the wilderness in NW WA just below Canada. The place featured a large pond and the geese that visited behaved like domestic pets toward the old couple, but honked and screamed at visitors. Some of them even nipped.

As good as watchdogs.

There's a small bay of the Hudson River across from my house (see aerial photo - red circle is my house, yellow is the area the birds congregate). In the spring, Canadian geese get in there. Sometimes their honking gets deafening. I went over last spring and took photographs. Believe me, you have to watch where you step.

Feeding Bread To Geese

You’ll often see people feeding bread to geese along with other waterfowl such as ducks and swans. While this is of course done with good intentions, it can actually hurt them. Bread contains little if any nutritional value for waterfowl.

I'm singing in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark up above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
Just singin', singin' in the rain
Dancing in the rain, I'm happy again
I'm singin' and dancing in the rain
I'm dancing and singin' in the rain

It doesn't matter to geese. In and out in half an hour. They love Kentucky bluegrass cropped down as at the golf courses.
