All you duck haters should realize that I don't care about the facts. Just picture ducks the size of pigeons hanging out on street corners.

[/ QUOTE ]yes, that would be excellent. Have you ever seen a Canadian Goose?

No, but I've seen a Canada Goose. For some reason, it's incorrect to call them Canadian Geese. But you are correct about how they ruin parks. We have a bunch of soccer fields that are becoming unplayable because of them. The Parks Department is looking at possible solutions but none are cheap or easy.

Haha. We do that. But it's only legal during season. The Parks Department actually calls 4 or 5 hunters and has them come in early in the morning to shoot them but it isn't enough to solve the problem.

Just release a few ligers in the park. No more problems with geese!

What's a liger? They are looking at hiring Collie border dogs but they are expensive as hell.

You might not want to leave the kids unattended if you use this option.

Not a good option. Transportation costs would be prohibitive as Milford Massachusetts is too far from the Mirage.

The golf course I used to work at had a dog that was trained to run around and chase them away; it did a suprisingly good job keeping them and their [censored] off the course.

Baby Duck Update

About a week after I first saw the baby ducks, their numbers were down to three. Shortly after, there were only two. I have no idea what happened to the other two. The babies were sometimes harassed by the other adult ducks but I never witnessed one actually being physically attacked.

The two surviving baby ducks are now a month old and much bigger. But, they can't fly yet and still stay close to their mother.

There is also a new family. For the first time, I saw a new mother and her three babies. This mother was hyper-aggressive. She even chased away the two month old babies and their mother when I was there feeding them.

There have been two couples who often stay secluded in parts of the Mirage pond towards the south. I think they may be protecting a nest of theirs.
