Watching


 There always seems to be one Canada Goose on guard while the others poke around for food. I always give them a lot of space as they can be quite fierce.

  3. They are especially fierce if there are young ones near by.

  5. I think most geese do that and they always see you before you see them - and if they take flight they frighten away every bird in the area!

  7. Yes, geese can defend themselves. I have also seen flocks of geese feeding with one or two devoted o watching. I wonder how these work assignments are given?

  10. Having a guard is a very sensible idea, as long as the goose nominated to-guard-and-not-eat changes every meal. Do we know if geese as sociable birds?
