Goose spaghetti
Like purple loosestrife , Canada geese are beautiful birds, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, causing problems. Here they are, slurping long tendrils of seaweed. As a result, their necks are in more interesting positions than they usually are.
Our local Canada geese are a huge problem, having chosen the high school track as a gaggle hangout, hence toileting facility. Goose poop makes the track impossibly slippery. There have been science projects assigned for years in the public schools, looking for ways to discourage the geese from walking the track -- no solutions thus far.
