Canada Geese on the march moving to the pond in the llama pasture at a residence near here. I counted over 40 of them, but a few at either end got cropped out of this version of the photo. This is a popular area with Canada Geese during the warm months and sometimes year-round. We had a neighbor who would get wilted lettuce from the grocery to feed them at his pond. I put out birdseed for Mourning Doves, Cardinals, and smaller birds, but I draw the line at encouraging Canada Geese to stick around. They are so thick at Blue Marsh Dam on Tulpehocken Creek a about 10 miles southwest of here that the Corps of Engineers often has to ban swimming after summer rains because of all the e. coli from goose droppings that washes into the lake.
