Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site 2009 Project of the Year Award!!!

Pretty cool, Lyle. We have had a pair nesting at our farm since we've owned it and believe they were present before, as well. Last year we really worked to protect them and they had - get this - 14 goslings that we counted! It was really a pretty neat thing to see happen and to feel like we were a part of helping make happen.

However, we decided that one year was enough. I am absolutely sick of the poop because they hang out where we hang out (when we're not there, of course!) and they poop everywhere. It just got really frustrating, so I began to harass with harsh prejudice this year. We prevented them from nesting at our small pond, but a pair managed to evade our radar and nest on our bigger pond where we don't spend as much time. They had 4 goslings this year and I have to concede it's cool watching them grown and learn how to live - nature is pretty amazing.

Thanks for sharing this with us!
