RE: 19 May 2005 �Kathie�s Diary�

We enjoyed reading Kathie Williams� observations. Her comment, �Mr. Goose is still waiting for his family to hatch. Mrs. Goose is sitting on the same nest she had last year,� came to mind today, Father�s Day, when we are writing this letter. We have observed what good fathers geese are (we humans can learn from them).

Kathie goes on to say, �Speaking of geese I heard Pine Lake is allowed to shoot one goose every day until they get the idea of staying away from the big lake�� �Guess that many geese can really be a problem.� It is our understanding that geese cannot fly away when they are caring for their families.

There are humane methods of control. Help is available on www.canadageese.org . They have a section called �Canada Geese as a Suburban Wildlife Issue.�
