Being a West Michigan summer resident myself, you would think that with all the thousands of lakes and ponds to choose from, why would they (geese) choose to hang out in a more urban area? (this is a man-made lake in the city limits btw- both spring fed and retention) I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that being within city limits, there is no hunting allowed. Our HOA had to put up a fence two years ago to keep them off our grass/lawns. Our backyards were unusable. Buckey mentioned they had problems on their golf course. Makes sense- because geese prefer SHORT well manicured grass (for reelz look it up ) Anyway, the fence is only about 16-18 inches high and we keep it right at the water's edge and works perfectly. They have never simply landed in the yard- ever. Geese are NOT intelligent.
