Maybe the town should consider planting a natural hedge and buffer along the water's edge just like every other shore front owner is. No doubt the geese congregating in large numbers in a small area is not good for them, the public or the lake.
Meredith provides the perfect habitat for geese to graze and gather....

I know some golf courses use border collies, who will have a blast chasing geese off the property....

I think Hesky Park has a sign encouraging the harassment of geese. However, I think they also have two decoys floating nearby.

How did this thread get so off topic? Let's get an ice-out thread going!

Then again I do have a woodpecker wreaking havoc at our place...He needs to disappear.

It's a natural progression...ice out/ goose poop. Makes sense to me! Need to borrow a few cats?? They climb trees with the best of 'em... you pay for the air lift and I'll loan the cats to you!
