Canadian Geese Problem

The Canadian Geese population on Lake Ronkonkoma, NY has exploded! LOL! While the Geese in this photo are harassing the people on the dock, their relatives have closed Lake Shore Drive, in both directions! LOL It took me 10 minutes to get past the section of highway at the former location of the Suffolk House! The geese walk at only two speeds "Slow," and Very Slow." Canadian Geese have a world class attitude! LOL! If you try to tailgate them they just walk slower, and stare you down! Now that's bravery! LOL!

Nancy Bishop – Farrell reports that she has seen the Geese block the highway at the site of the Adult Home on Lake Ronkonkoma.

Bob Kimmler Sr. reports that Canadian Geese strut around like royalty in his home town in Maryland!

The Canadian Geese are apparently “Snow Birds;” they come down to our location to avoid the harsh Canadian winters. The only problem is that they like the climate so much that they refuse to go back to Canada! LOL! You don’t have to be human to be a “Snow Bird!”

George G. LaCorte expressed concern over the water quality of lake Ronkonkoma with regard to the Canadian Geese.

On the Brighter side: Nancy Bishop Farrell said,”I was looking to see if there was a golden goose among them...heh heh. I really enjoyed watching how they just royally crossed the road and everyone sat patiently until they all crossed....funny and a great way to start the day...”

 We do indeed have a problem that must be addressed!
