Canada geese are rampant on Long Island

Long Island occurs more problems across Canada this year than ever before. Of course, the last weeks of winter are the large flocks of geese passing north of Long Island for a visit. They join the many thousands of birds either winter or live here year-round in the metropolitan area of New York.

Last week we received a number of reasons to ask for help. Two calls came less than an hour every other desperate families. More than a hundred geese had becomeup out of the blue a week because of their failure. One of the callers had not seen a 'duck on his property in seventeen years. We also received calls from two organizations over Long Island-based who want quick solution to their problems of geese. The deals were completed in a few hours, resulting in two new customers for geese OFF!

Geese on the island many people report more than usual - more torque, more couples. GEESE OFF! is still fighting a greatflock of 300 migratory geese in Mill Neck on the north shore of Long Island. These birds come from northern Quebec. They spend every winter in and around Lattingtown, Mill Neck Bay, Oyster Bay and Centre Island.

Collared geese

How do we know where they come from? Simple - for the last six years we have seen some of this herd wearing peach-colored collars with large white numbers on them. The numbers and call them in a special telephone line for the U.S. Fish &Wildlife Services Division is engaged in migratory birds. A few weeks after you get a certificate to tell us where the geese were ringed. The certificate gives the birds are slaughtered, their age and name of the biologist responsible for the banding. Mill Neck bands geese a man of Quebec. He captures the collars and birds in the tundra during the summer suit if they can not fly. All in all we see on geese fifty with his collars.

Exodus

But whyLong Island, these geese are so numerous and so insistent in the last two weeks? As indicated in our previous blog, the geese on Long Island lost a lot of valuable nutrients during storms of snow covering the island in February. They are struggling to rebuild their body fat in preparation for their long migrations. Meanwhile, female resident geese also expand their pantries to get enough in Serbia for 28 days they will spend their eggs hatch in April.They will have little to eat when they sit on the nest.

Compensation spring

March 21 the first day of spring, will come another day. Year after year we have seen dramatic decline in the number of geese on Long Island, around that date. In Westchester and Putnam County, we have noticed flocks of twenty to fifty geese fly high on the back of the southerly winds last week to the weekend rain storm grounded flights. Other birds will soon follow. At the same time, many nestsresident geese have already returned to their ponds to the nest to start.
