Ah, the majestic Canada goose.

Cordially hated by every human being on the Eastern Seaboard that has the misfortune to live under a migration path.  As Georgians are being reminded of, even as we speak:

Georgia wildlife officials are asking landowners to be patient with Canada geese during their summer molting period.

State waterfowl biologist Greg Balkcom says geese begin losing their feathers and growing new ones in late June and early July. During this time, the birds are unable to fly and are known to frustrate landowners who are irritated with the volume of feathers and feces the birds produce.

Although Wikipedia is telling me that more and more of the damned things are now sticking in one place, because, hey, golf courses are like Heaven to a Canada goose. …But of course. They vex us. They vex us, and we shall have them…
