When I first moved to Pennsylvania about 25 years ago there was a large plot of land about 3 miles from my home. It was about a 15 acre plot and during certain times of year every foot of the plot had Canada Geese occupying it. My guess there were 10,000 or more. That land now has a large strip mall. I often wondered where the geese went. I think you got them.
