As some of you have noticed, the Canadian Geese have "left their mark" on the golf course over the winter. Over the next few weeks, we will mow and sweep up their "dropping". It has been a long and difficult battle to control them. For decades, the US Fish and Wildlife Service has enforced rules to protect these migratory birds. They set limitations to what we can do to rid them from the property. In order to both follow the law and control the geese, we have hired an outside company that specializes in goose control. We used them in the fall of last year and had some good results. They will be using many different techniques from shooting off fire crackers to running specially trained dogs to harass the geese. They have all the required and necessary federal and local permits. We are hoping this will help reduce their population.
