Canada Geese
are beginning to pair up, build nests and lay their eggs. They will do
so late March through early May and then a new generation of geese will be
born, who in turn will add greatly over the years to existing
populations.
Under typical conditions, 10 geese (5 nesting pairs) today
will lead to 270 geese in 8 years and those 270 geese will become 1,280
geese 4 years after that. Coating the eggs with corn oil before they are
too far developed halts that biological process in a humane manner.
