lew Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I used to Scuba dive in a quarry near Lebanon, PA. The geese found it to be a winter haven. The bottom of the quarry was inches deep in goose poop and in the summer the "fertilizer" created thick algae in the water. Link to comment
HARO50 Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Good to hear he's not blaming US for sending our "Canadian" geese south! And, to put the shoe on the other foot, do you Americans realize that your American turkeys are now becoming a nuisance in Ontario? In the early 70's, small groups of them were re-introduced up here (Where they had become extirpated!) and now hardly a day goes by that I don't see several flocks of them. And they have been known to attack farmers and hikers. John Link to comment

John Morris Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just now, Gene Howe said: John, you need a wall. Those turkey's will just fly right over it into Canada. They do fly you know. Link to comment

In the mid-70's, several groups of hunters got together to ask the Ontario government for permission to import wild-caught turkeys from several states, including Kentucky, for release in Southern Ontario. IIRC, most were in groups of two dozen or so. They have done so well that now they are being seen in Algonquin Park, some 3 hour's drive north. 10 hours ago, Gene Howe said: John, you need a wall. 10 hours ago, John Morris said: They do fly you know. Oh, they DO!! Not too gracefully, and apparently not too long, but they are an amazing sight when they take to the air! John Link to comment
HARO50 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Back to the Canada geese, did you know that they are now found all over Europe, as well as New Zealand? Don't know if they flew on their own or hitched a ride, but they got there! John Link to comment
