AP Geese

[Aunt Betty]

I thought the recent cold weather would have pushed them out, but it warmed up and they are still here.

To make a Canada goose leave it takes extended period of snow cover. If there's any chance of it melting they'll wait it out. ( here in illinois)

On the Eastern shore snow is welcomed. Even a blizzard because eventually it will blow off the hillsides. Pits were built with that in mind. Of course having tidal ,brackish ,big water and many ponds with ice eaters helps. Since winter 2017/2018 all that has been a non issue.

The marsh I hunt had frozen over for a week. I’ve seen that push them out in years past without snow cover.
