>Geese, you got that right. And the noise is the least of it, if you know what I mean. When I was at Kraft we had a huge water retention pond in the middle of the office complex. (It was dubbed Lake Velveeta). The pond attracted geese by the hundreds. You had to watch your step along the footpaths, put it that way.

Speaking of annoying geese, Gary coincidentally happened to run across this site this morning: http://www.shoogeese.com/

Are those dirty, nasty Canada Geese stealing your peace? Tired of stooping to scoop goose poop? Would you like to see a decrease of geese on your property? Don’t throw in the towel over water fowl! Gain control with Shoo, Geese! Border Patrol!

Basically, they use Border collies to harass the geese until they leave for safer territory. The collies do what they normally do, the herding instinct you know ... geese don't like to be herded. <g>
