Today I present one video from reader Douglas Swartzendruber in Colorado. If you think you’ve seen a lot of geese, well, here are a lot more. And these are residents!

Is there any animal quite like Canada Geese?
I don’t think so.
Wow! Yes there are places where they have become so abundant that they are considered pests. But I have not heard about efforts to control their numbers.
Gaggle just doesn’t do this group justice! Perhaps it’s a googlegaggle.

Despite some ethical drawbacks, I’ve always loved foie gras and pâté de foie gras. Few dishes rival it, devine with a chateau Yquiem, or even a Monbazillac or a Gewurtztraminer. Sorry for being so insensitive (geese are related to ducks), but rest assured, I very rarely eat it.
Now I do not know if these geese would give a nice liver pâté, but if they have to be culled anyway, why not try?
