Today I spotted my first Canada Goose sitting on a nest. She's only about 10 feet away from me beside a walkway. Unfortunately the City Of Pickering has a policy of spraying the eggs with oil. That will kill them. This method keeps the female sitting on them until she figures it out that they are not going to hatch. Then it's too late to build another nest.
It seems a cruel trick to play on the goose, but necessary for everyone else's sanity!
