Canada geese are a common sight in New Jersey, where they gather in large groups near water bodies. This time of year, they escort their newly hatched goslings around to feed and learn how to swim. While these birds add a touch of nature to residential areas, they also pose a sanitary issue due to their tendency to leave droppings on lawns. Homeowners often resort to using decoy border collies or low temporary fences to deter the geese from their property. However, the geese continue to cross roads in large numbers, sometimes causing traffic delays. The reason for their pedestrian approach is attributed to the inability of young goslings to fly and the molting of flight feathers in adults during this time of year. Despite the inconvenience they may cause, it’s important to remember that Canada geese are a protected species with no natural predators in the area. Motorists are advised to pay attention and be prepared to stop when encountering these feathered pedestrians.
