Canadian Geese with little ones filled the Lake edges this morning. A male goose is called a "gander" and a baby goose is called a "gosling". A group of geese is called a "gaggle". I’m not to crazy about them but watching the babies eat at the edge of the water was entertaining. The success of this common park species has led to its often being considered a pest species because of its excrement, its depredation of crops, its noise, its aggressive territorial behavior toward both humans and other animals, and its habit of stalking and begging for food, a result of humans disobeying artificial feeding policies of wild animals.
