Geese population growing

[mishman]

I used to see Canadian geese overhead in the spring and fall and it would put a smile on my face as they headed north or south. Unfortunately, now when I see geese they are nearly full time residents on the lake (at least eight months of the year) and the population is growing. When I think about how much they defecate in the lake, I can't help but think we need to get rid of these birds to protect the water quality of the lake. Do others feel the same?
